This is going to make Debian much more 'accessible' to the general population than it has been in the past. I have been thinking even of proposing the formation of another one or two mailing lists (I considered 'networking' to have enough traffic to be classified as a separate topic), as Debian-User, as the general mailing list is possibly going to become deluged. Though we probably have some time before that potential occurs. Regards, David. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
