Yeah, I hold that view as well. > I think the quality of > questions are also rising (cursory observation) I feel the same (can't back it up). > so maybe more newbies > are running to Ubuntu. Isn't it a good thing? I think it is amazingly good. Take a look at all those questions asked in the Ubuntu forum, >90% are tasteless. What's worse, (have you flipped down several index pages?), the questions on the 4th or 5th pages are just asked hours ago! I think the "huge success" of Ubuntu is becoming the huge disaster for it at the same time. With such huge traffic, any question that need a little more thinking would be neglected. I recently asked a question there, and on noticing the above fact, I didn't even bother to bump up my question. Why bother? Several hours later it will end up on 6th pages again. -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
