Controlling my anger is a point I could make huge progress on :-) But I usually do not laugh at people who make mistakes, that's not the kind of guy I am. Here it seems to me it's gone too far: I assume that when you're writing on the debian-laptop list, when you have a laptop on which you operate Debian, etc, your knowledge should enable you not to behave like the guy we're talking about. On the second point, you're also totally right, but when you use Gmail's web interface as a MUA, you don't control averything. But I'll have a look. Wishing you a good night, JB. P.S. It's true that about insults, I'm more or less the latin type, i.e. sometimes using them quite lavishly without attaching a big importance to those words. I should not assume people have the same relationship to coarse language, ok... end of forwarded mess. P.S.2 Today is another day (at least for we Europeans) :-)

Hi, * Philip Schwartz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2005-09-01 13:46]: > I am pleased to announce that debian-laptop.org will be the home of the > Debain on Laptops Information and Guide repo. And what is the advantage of this? Tuxmobil.org lists the laptops with additional information like the distribution. It looks like this is only another site which pushes the decentralisation of information.

Re: Do we still need libc5?
On 9/2/05, Jeroen van Wolffelaar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Debian unstable & testing still carry around libc5, and some associatedpackages like altgcc, libdb1, ld.so and a few others.Is there nowadays still a use for these packages? Does the amount ofusage warrant the efforts it take to maintain these rather outdatedpackages? How hard can it be to keep these packages around? I already proposed to remove the whole libc5 chaintools anddependencies before woody release. A few users complained because of a few old commercial programs (such as wordperfect and so) (Apologies if attribution got messed up here.) Uh, you bet. Commercial or not, WordPerfect 8 for Unix remains the best word processor available on our platform. OO.org is as bloated as the software it emulates. I would be incredibly pissed if I could not continue to run WP8. But, that said, all I need is that it not be _broken_, so that those legacy libraries remain available and functional. I have a page at http://ul451.gsu.edu/~pwiseman/WP8_and_Debian_GNU_Linux.html which has some of the necessary packages to make it work. If there will be others taken out of future Debian distributions, I'd appreciate being told, so that I can make them available to troglodytes like myself who continue to use WP8. Whatever its weaknesses, it's still WordPerfect, the best word processor ever, whatever your platform. Patrick
