I recently purchased Lindows OS 3.0 and 4.0 and from what I gather
Debian is the ROOT of the Lindows OS. I have been diddling in basic and
using windows but Lindows has caught my attention and I hope I'm
directing this to the right people.
I would like to learn to "DEVELOPE" and or test or "contribute" to the
developement of Debian if I can while I learn about Lindows "IF" it is
an acceptable OS to Debian. I am however a bit confused or you might say
"billwashed" by past experiences with OS operations, I went to a Debian
chat channel in Xchat and was rudely booted out for mentioning the new
OS Lindows (at least new to me) and now this is why I am sending this
Email to maybe get an explanation if a Lindows user is capable of
helping Debian.
any response is very much appriciated.

Hello,
I know that the chat culture may be a bit harsh at first, and people
seem to overreact quite a bit. Given a few rules of civilian behavior,
you shouldnt be booted. However, plese note:
- Some Channels require a real name to be set
- Lindows as I understand it is just some linux with WINE (to run
windows apps). Apart from that they changed the 'traditional' unix
folder structurte to something windows-like, which many people resent.
Debian has a completely different directory tree.
- Developing for debian is IMO not meaningful without a debian system,
and with at least some basic knowledge of a programming language..
yours
