This is indeed an unfortunate problem, both for Debian and for the Linux community at large. I have found debian-user to be one of the best places to get answers to all kinds of questions, debian-specific or otherwise (I have no problem with this: if someone with the good taste to run Debian runs it on a Debian system, I will try to answer questions about it). Is there any central repository for archieves of all the different mailing lists/newsgroups related to linux? -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
