I don't like the name for various reasons: - woody is just the name of the next release and current testing distribution. What do you suggest should happen to this list once woody becomes stable and we have a new testing, once woody is no longer stable. - We are splitting debian-user. Therefore new lists should have the name debian-user-*. yours, peter -- PGP signed and encrypted | .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** messages preferred.| : :' :By professionals, | `. `' for professionals http://www.palfrader.org/ | `-http://www.debian.org/

> 2) What Debian does is produce Linux distributions. Maybe you did not notice, however, Debian creates a lot more then GNU/Linux distributions. Debian also creates GNU/Hurd distributions and work has recently started on a BSD distribution.

Progress; & How create a mail list for Woody Users?
I am heartened by the unanimously favorable response to my suggestion for the creation of a list devoted to issues of relevance to users of Woody. :) I thank all the people who responded to: RFD: Separate mailing list for users running testing? Chris Halls http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2001/debian-project-200109/msg6.html And I want to make a special thanks to Chris Halls, who took the time, effort and knowledge of how to get things done, and, from my suggestion, created that RFD and posted it to the appropriate list (which I did not know about doing). This new list will benefit the Debian community by saving it much time (for the many reasons listed in the previous thread). It will also enable avoiding the problems that come with a list whose main subject changes over time (as is now being experienced on the debian-user list by the growth in focus from potato to potato + woody) by creating a forum that focuses on specifically this topic, permanently. There have been many good suggestions about what the name of the list should be. Looking them all over, I come to these conclusions: 1) Almost all Debian list names start with "debian-", so that seems fine. 2) What Debian does is produce Linux distributions. There have been Hamm, Slink, & Potato. Woody is next for final release. There will likely be others in the future. Since one essence of a good mailing list name is that it proceed from the general to the specific, and the specific of what _Debian_ does is produce distributions, the next word in the list title should be the version of Debian distro this list refers to: Woody. Thus, we have so far: "debian-woody-". 3) A Debian distribution has many facets, topics &/or constituencies. This list pertains to topics of interest to _Woody's_ _users_. Thus, proceeding again towards the more specific, we get: "debian-woody-user". Thus, applying the principles of accuracy, and the procession from general toward specific, gives us the result for the name: debian-woody-user. Since the responses to the suggestion for the creation of the list have all been favorable, and since the existence of such a list could greatly benefit the Debian community as mentioned above, I propose we move now to getting this list created. I am guessing that a creation request posted to this list, or [EMAIL PROTECTED], or perhaps a bug report (although this is not a bug, it is a request for an improvement) to some package, (lists.debian.org -- The mailing lists, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? From: http://www.debian.org/Bugs/pseudo-packages) would be the way to get this request into the "to-do" queue for the mailing list maintainers. Would someone who has a clue about the list creation process please now suggest the procedure to use to get this list created? Thank you. :) __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Debian CDs
Right, ok, thanks, i'll just get my 8x burner chugging then. Thanks Anyways Richard Fillion There isn't 'real' cds. There are burned cd's that are considered "Official" if they follow the format dictated by debian. You can find out on how to make these images at http://cdimage.debian.org/ . I would be willing to burn a set for you in exchange for media, but I'm not prepared to make mass-amounts. I really just want to help facilitate groups of people with limited bandwidth to use the set to make more of their own. -- Scott Dier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.ringworld.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] "History teaches that grave threats to liberty often come in times of urgency, when constitutional rights seem too extravagant to endure." - Justice Thurgood Marshall (1989) _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
