Debian fans, I have the following modest proposal :
Debian should start charging for high-speed apt-get/dselect/whatever downloads from it's sites. 56k is free, anything faster you pay for. Then we can pay people to work on the not fun stuff that needs doing. And people who download ISO's to sell should be paying a LOT. And this is not a troll. Debian is worth it, although there has been a lot of grumbling about it lately (some of it deserved). I personally would pay (more). I would like to see more effort directed at the "not fun" stuff in development, like error handling, documentation, testing, correctness of packaging. People working in their spare time don't like to do these sorts of tasks and I don't blame them. I honestly think that more money could make Debian an even better distribution. Brian
