Agreed. The repository already exists, let's utilize it. However, what the original writer was suggesting was a meta-package along the lines of "kde-extras" which itself depends on a suite of appropriate other Debian packages and specific configuration options which would complete the particular laptop. > In general I have found it very difficult to get authors to > _maintain_ their documentation.

Laptop models change continually also, which makes keeping the meta-packages up to date and endless chore. > I would definitely be interested in seeing how this progresses, > emma I believe that contributing back to linux-on-laptops.com is "our" best method for documentation. It also spreads the load over different distributions of Linux, not just those of us with Debian. We may be a large community, but by no measure a majority.
