I just tried the following in google: site:lists.debian.org debian-user debian forum and got 7420 hits in 0.54s. Then I tried: site:lists.debian.org debian-user "debian forum" and got 123 hits in 0.26s. I had been on the verge of testing a forum to find out about their claimed search benefits. Now, I don't think I'll bother. ;-) Thanks, Roberto. -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
