I 2nd that big time, well said Jason. I was one he helped last night as well... we had one of those *really* long irc sessions, troubleshooting a via chipset agp power issue trying to get the nvidia driver working in Ubuntu for my 32mb TNT2 card. My entire linux knowledge is RH based distros... but I'm a deb based distro retard, though I am working to fix that slowly. He helped every step of the way, reading some forums and throwing out ideas, including helping with the deb-isms I was unfamiliar with. After lots of bombs and a couple of typos by me, and now it works! Thanks Daniel! (I also learned I might want to upgrade the motherboard in this machine if I decide I want to use a more powerful video card.) But, I have an IBM T42 on the way... Ubuntu will be the first distro I put on it, removing that XP that you have to buy... wish me Deb luck!
Thanks again Daniel, you definitely deserve the recognition. :) David McD On 6/7/05, Jason Tower <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > i'd like to take a moment to recognize someone that is a wonderful > contributor to trilug and the entire open source community. i've been > hanging around in the #trilug irc channel for a few years now, and this > person really stands out in my mind as being consistently friendly, > knowledgable, and helpful. i have personally witnessed this individual > help people (myself included) with all sorts of linux issues, from quick > fixes to long, drawn out troubleshooting sessions. and no matter how > long it takes or how complicated the situation he never gets impatient, > loses his cool, or says anything rude or disparaging to whomever he is > helping. he never asks for anything in return. and on top of all that, > he's incredibly knowledgable about linux yet displays none of the > "attitude" that linux gurus have a reputation for harboring. the man > has more patience and kindness in his little finger than i have in my > entire body. > > > > dan chen (aka crimsun) - my hat's off to you. and thanks. > > jason > -- > TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug > TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ > TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ > TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc > -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
