*grin*. this is all about communication. of all the advice i have received, which i _really_ really appreciate, not one single bit of it could i have found without all your (collective) help. basically, the debian project is seriously lacking a glossary, index and reference knowledge base. even if such things do already exist, they exist in places that require knowledge in order to find _out_ that they exist. and most of that knowledge is in people's heads: if you're not hooked into the mailing lists, mindset and culture, it's almost impossible to fix problems on your own. most ordinary users can deal with less dimensions and have a lot less technically-aware creativity to spare than developers do... l. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
