First off, if you'll notice how much traffic is on Debian-User. Debian is ALL VOLUNTEER. There is no "commercial" version underlying the support infrastructure. Some of us are subscribed to many e-mail lists for Debian, not just Debian User. I for one also have e-mail subscriptions to many other e-mail lists outside of Debian. Setting this background... comes the next paragraph It is not that we have an attitude, just that better than 90% of the questions asked on Debian-User have been asked before and have solutions already in the archive. Nearly everyone asking questions says "I search the archives" or "I've Googled for this". This then also leads us to be suspicious as to the sincereity, nee laziness. You might get a ton of "Read The Fine Manual" with pointers to the proper location. But understand, it is not to dis you. Couple of lists I am on, the matter of factly answers are all RTFM with exact locations and nothing else. -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] The technology that is Stronger, better, faster: Linux
