Fwd: get.debian.net installing gNewsomething instead of Debian
So, it has been almost half a year and what has happened? Nothing, the page http://get.debian.net still installs gNewsense. Could you *please* point it to the official Debian win32-loader? Thank you, Frank -- Forwarded message -- From: Frank Bauer frank.c.ba...@gmail.com Date: Sun, Apr 11, 2010 at 11:31 AM Subject: get.debian.net installing gNewsomething instead of Debian To: debian-project@lists.debian.org Hi, yesterday I came across an older laptop that I wanted to upgrade from Windows XP to Debian testing. Since the CD drive went south, I had the only option to use the installation directly from Windows. So I went to the usual http://get.debian.net, used the win32 instaler loader from the first link there, but instead of Debian it started to install gNewsense. Nice All Fools Day joke, but unfortunately off by 10 days. Regards, Frank -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

libgeoip1: Debian turning into an advertising crap?
Hi, today I have been lingering in the realms of /etc examining the files breaking the tradition of using small letters in filenames (ConsoleKit, GeoIP.conf.default, NetworkManager, etc.). This advertisement is contained in the GeoIP.conf.default file (package libgeoip1): # If you purchase a subscription to the GeoIP database, # then you will obtain a license key which you can # use to automatically obtain updates. # for more details, please go to # http://www.maxmind.com/app/products [...] Do you think it is appropriate for package in main?
