The Debian Mailing List used to be absolutely vicious. I do not know
what it has become over the last 7 years because I have never gone back.
I had asked a question about video configuration and was told that if
I was "Too Fu**ing stupid to RTFM, I should just go buy a Mac and STFU!"
That was by more than one responder. Since I don't really care for
people who do not listen, but merely attack, I have not been back to the
list, nor will I ever go. If it ever comes down to needing info from
the Debian list, I will take their advice, go buy a Mac, and not bother
with them. YMMV, as some on this list are fond of saying. BTW, I use
Debian as the Web/Moodle/Blog server in my school district, have no
problems, and will not use an RPM based distro. Peace, Dennis in Victoria
