I could be well described as a Debian newbie but I'd beg to differ, regarding all this. I've always gotten well - mannered and helpful information regarding any of my queries, and being a member of the debian-user-greek list as well, I really, really appreciate the lack of any flamefesting on this list. It seems to be consisted of volunteers with a professional mentality. I mean, I was really impressed when my first ever inquiry on this list, a question on aptitude's "Score" feature, was met with such a good spirit, eventually reaching the eyes of the package's maintainer, who gave me a thorough response. I know, this all sounds really basic and redundant, but that's the way I feel. J -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
