<quote> There has been much talk today on the mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] about the content of this program. I did not see the program myself, as I never watch daytime television.

There is a growing army of Linux users around the world, and a growing movement that can only be called Community, in which people of all ages and skills, and from all over the world, work together and help each other sort problems.
