Let's see, on a quick overview I know: 1 female hardware wizard (if I need to buy some PC hardware, I will ask her what to buy) 2 female computer scientists 2 female web usability architects 3 competent female software designers This list includes only my friends (and my girlfriend who uses SuSE exclusively). So, anyone blindly assuming that a female Debian user is automatically in the "luser" category is a fool. I think your message is a good one. Debian is an international community. Don't categorize people based on assumptions. Followups should probably go to -project. -- * Sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology (T.P) * * PGP public key available @ http://www.iki.fi/killer *
