:) IMO Subscribe / Unsubscribe Your email address: doesn't need tons of text how to use it ;), so at least I would recommend this link http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/ I guess with some hours trail and error it should be possible to subscribe, even by using this complicated thingy ;). 2 Cents, Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org Archive: http://lists.debian.org/1307803601.2378.179.camel@debian
