Questions about users page

[Gerfried Fuchs]

Hi!

 I try to translate the users page and found some things that puzzle me
a little bit:

 -) What is a public magnet school?  Especially the magnet is what I am
refering to (userdetail MerloStation).

 -) What is a DAV-Server (userdetail hispalinux).

 I guess I'll have some more questions when I try to catch up with the
latest changes, but these are holding me back from committing my initial
revision.

 Have fun,
Alfie

How about s,tribute/,,? Is there a reason for the subdirectory, like a file
for each developer, or not?

I would consider, if we could get enough material. To provide a
single page for some developers (specially for those listed under
memorials). This could include even a picture of the developer himself, or
notes from fellow Debian developers who knew them.

That's the main reason of having a separate subdivision...

Yes.

Is there any way to combine it with Debian History?

Is there a wiki anywhere we could use to jot down odd remembrances?

typo

[Anthony Letchet]

3.4 What version of gcc and libc do I need?

Linus recommends a version of gcc in the README file included with the linux
source. If you don't have this version, the documentation in the recommended
version of gcc should tell you if you need to upgrade your libc. This is not
a difficult procedure, but it is important to follow the
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

i cant find what page it was on now but it was one of the "how to's" notice
the word "linus" first word of 2nd paragraph.

 That's a pity, it's hard to track down such things  You seem to be
at least sure that it was on a Debian website, are you?

 What is the exact typo you are refering to?  I don't get it.  Do you
mean that Linus?  Linus is the name of the creator of Linux, Linus is
used correctly in that context if you mean that.  If not please be a
little bit more straight to the point in what you mean

 Have fun,

I'm pretty sure this one is referring to "Distributed Authoring and
Versioning"; there's an RFC about it or somesuch.

RE: Tux CDs unreliable

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your reply... though 'unreliable' is not the term I would use to
describe theft. Or is it fraud? Offering an item for sale, receiving cash
for the item, then not shipping the item and keeping the cash. I call it
thievery, though I am betting it contains fraud as well.

Hello Tux CDs,

this is already the third complaint about you in a quite short time. 
What is your comment on the problems that people have ordering Debian

Re: Tux CDs unreliable

[Tux CDs]

Dear Mr. Burton & Mr. Atterer,

Our records indicate that this order was processed. It should have been
received. It was ordered with USPS First Class Mail, and is therefor
untracable. Our policy indicates we are not responsible for lost/stolen
mail. However, in this case we are making an exception. Mr. Burton's credit
card was issued a refund for the full amount yesterday.
It is our goal to make our customers happy. We have hundreds of very
satisfied customers. Orders that we receive will ship same day if received
before 1:00PM CST (M-F). We stand behind our quality products and fast
shipping. If you do not receive your order fast, it's free. In effect today,
if your order is not shipped same day, it is free. (Please see our web site
for details)
If anyone has any other concerns, please let me know.

Best regards,
Karl

RE: Tux CDs unreliable

Hi Tux Cd's,

Okay, I am happy that I get my $26 or so dollars back, but why did you not
reply to any of my emails?

Of course after the first no reply passed, they were of an angry nature, but
had you simply replied I would have been much less angry. Another idea might
be to state this 'policy' of yours on your website along with shipping info,
in such a place that people can read it prior to paying.

Re: Tux CDs unreliable

[Tux CDs]

Dear Mr. Burton,

When you paid, you paid via PayPal. Therefore PayPal billed your credit
card, not us. We issued a PayPal refund and PayPal will reimburse your card.
You may or may not need to log into your PayPal account to finalize this.
Sometimes they give you the option of receiving a check or having the funds
deposited into your bank account instead.

Our policy is stated on our web site. Front page, as well as FAQ.
