[snip, snip, snippety-snip] Ladies and Gentlemen, I just joined the debian-devel list yesterday, all excited about being able to possibly contribute code and insights to the installation system to make it more palatable to those who would like to install the OS in < 5 minutes a la Kickstart/Jumpstart. Maybe I'd even build some .debs for software for which there are none yet. However, the first thing I see is some pointless bickering about DNS and email. I am now very turned off because instead of seeing a bunch of bright developers, I'm seeing a voluminous amount of off-topic flaming. I suspect that Debian development would move a lot faster if you stopped worrying about relatively inane administrivia like whether fwd/rev DNS entries match and instead moved on with coding and QA. Everyone has a different security philosophy and we all have to learn to deal with that. As an olive branch, I'm not even going to bother offering my opinion on the matter at hand. ;-) So, who wants to talk about installation? -- Michael S.
