I most certainly do not wish to put down the fine efforts that you and the rest of the Debian group are putting in. Also, I consider it quite likely that I will eventually get involved (again) in some non-profit group or other having to do with computer software and/or the Internet. (In fact, "been there, done that", if you will give some consideration to some 5 years of involvement in Fidonet at many levels). Honesty, whether I join the Linux camp or another will depend on the success of my current efforts to bootstrap myself into this community. For now, most of my on-line interactions are done with Eudora for Windows (email), Free Agent (news) , WsFTP and Netscape for Windows. Thus, as a example of obstacle to my progression, I cannot easily grab a set of HTMLized FAQs from the Net for local perusal because they use long filenames. Also, I am constrained to getting the msdos-i386 branch of the distribution sites, even though dselect seems to be somewhat reluctant to use these DOS filenames... And if I start seriously considering the purchase of a CD copy of the distribution, to give dselect the long filenames it prefers, I have to face a non-documented module argument... <taking on the whining voice of Gilda Radner's Roseanne Roseannadanna> "When it's not one thing, it's another..." ;-))) Hey, don't let me spoil your fun. Whenever I point out a flaw in the Debian distribution, I do it in the spirit of providing useful feedback, and with no malice whatsoever. Consider it my first level of contribution to your fine work. Hopefully, in the fullness of time I will feel confident and knowledgeable enough to participate in more significant ways. In the meantime, I'm still here, so despite my setbacks, I haven't given up.... Regards, renald
