My reference to "we" was a reference to the Debian community, which I consider myself a part of. I am a regular supporter on the #debian channel on irc.freenode.net. I can not count the number of times that I have began to help a user, only to find out their problem is specific to <insert based on Debian distro here>. While I agree that this particular issue is very general to Linux itself, people still need to learn to seek help from the appropriate communities. Just as a small indication of how often this occurs in #debian, here is a factinfo comparison to "nvidia": 12:27 <dpkg> ubuntu -- last modified at Wed Feb 13 17:17:41 2008 by weasel!wea...@weasel.chair.oftc.net; it has been requested 1261 times, last by rudi_s, 2h 52m 42s ago 12:28 <dpkg> nvidia -- last modified at Sun Sep 20 20:45:26 2009 by themill!~stu...@themill.user.oftc.net; it has been requested 3207 times, last by remmy, 1d 50m 29s ago. The "ubuntu" factoid is generally presented to direct a user to get help at the appropriate channel (#ubuntu). --- Jordan Metzmeier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
