Debian users and newsgroups
Hi All. I just replied to a message in comp.os.linux.setup that asked where all the Debian users were. Are we so few or are we so selective? The only reason I read the message at all is because I filter out every newsgroup message that doesn't have the string ebian in the subject line. I'm going to stop doing this but my lack of expert knowledge re: Linux prevents me from taking part too much in discussion that might lead a reader to consider Debian as an alternative. So if you are an expert with about 100hours per week to spare, please get in there :-) -- Thank God, thank GNU, thank Gdebian.
