$ cat /etc/issue Arch Linux \r (\l) This is my "main" distro, IOW the distro I like the best, while switching to systemd wasn't the best idea, it split the community, people were banned from the mailing list and now it's a hardcore moderated mailing list. I suspect the best mailing lists for newbies are Ubuntu mailing lists, followed by this Debian list, other lists are a little bit strange. IOW newbies should use Ubuntu or Debian. Funny thread: http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2013-August/094164.html And I run into similar situation, so I closed a thread at https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2013-August/msg00117.html I would call the Ubuntu and Debian communities liberal :), FWIW the Arch community is liberal too, just the original mailing list is hard to use. However, an issue, especially for newbies are many Linux mailing lists. It seems to be, that Jesus Christ had not to suffer that hard, as several Linux (userspace) coders and some disciples do from those many evil users who don't contribute by following their directives and opinions :D. Resume: There are many good linux distributions we could install, but there are only a few communities with "normal" [1] people. [1] "normal" in this context is for people who have a live beside Linux, with friends who don't know what Linux is. I bet the friends of some of those "abnormal" coders and disciples be sick of hearing them talking about Linux. A major distro with a huge community of "normal" people (Arch btw. is a major distro too), IMO is the best way to go. 2 Cents, Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
