Re: [luau] Off Topic - And getting further off topic
To all who are annoyed at my post, take a look at it this way: 1. I labelled it "Off Topic", so if you didn't want to read it you had ample warning and you could have just deleted the message 2. Its an issue that affects everyone in the US, and therefore I felt that everyone I know might be able to benefit from the information 3. There was no flamebait in the message. If you really are that angry, then I am sorry. If you really are that angry, you didn't need to tie up even more time on this list voicing your anger. E-mail me directly.
RE: [luau] Off Topic - And getting further off topic
I think most of us look at it this way. 1. You can't just warn people your about to break a rule and expect that to make it OK. 2. There are millions of issues going on that affect everyone in the US. We are informed. This LUG is in place because of issues relating to open source. It is not up to you to decide what other issues you think we need to be informed on. 3. Off topic, controversial posts are flame bait. That should be evident by the amount of annoyed members replying to you publicly and privately. Like I said in my private reply, please think twice before deliberately posting this far off topic. You damage the quality of LUAU when you do this.

Cody, I appreciate your comments. There was no intent to make anyone angry or to cause controversy. I merely wished to let people know about an important issue. Deven
Re: [luau] Off Topic - And getting further off topic
Some comments: > 1. I labelled it "Off Topic", so if you didn't want > to read it you had ample warning and you could have > just deleted the message True enough. However, for me, it's the political nature of your email that was annoying. There are plenty of ways to express those views without posting them to a list that has a very well-defined and specific _technical_ purpose. I think it's a stretch to think that simply labeling an email Off Topic gives one the license to post political messages. IMHO, politics, just by its nature, does not belong in this forum. > 2. Its an issue that affects everyone in the US, and > therefore I felt that everyone I know might be able > to benefit from the information There are any number of political issues that someone may decide affects the entire nation. Those don't belong here either. > 3. There was no flamebait in the message. > OK. It's clear that you feel strongly about this and were doing what you felt was the right thing. Problem is, that others might feel just as strongly with the exact opposite view. Should they now respond making sure they carefully label it "Off Topic"? Hope not. Please keep this stuff off. > If you really are that angry, you didn't need to tie > up even more time on this list voicing your anger. > E-mail me directly. Well, responding through the forum makes it clear to others that some of us don't want to see this type of thing here. Stan __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

[luau] Kernal Sources with Debian
Aloha, Can anyone tell me how to get the kernal sources on a Debian system? I am compiling a program that needs them. I can find packages with apt-get and looking on apt-get.org but I can't see how to download the kernal sources. Thanks, Matt

Another advantage of make-kpkg is that it wraps all the extra commands you need to build and install a kernel. You can still download the kernel source from a debian mirror and skip the make-kpkg part. The only difference from grabbing from kernel.org would be that less keystrokes are involved. -Vince

[luau] If you could have your wish
Hi All, I have been off the list for quite some time but I really need your help. My boss has asked me to buy one laptop wants it to be top of the line and said I can spend up to $6000 dollars to buy it. He also gave me $2000 dollars to buy two flat screen monitors. Any suggestions. Vendor is no problem. We do want to get the most for our money and he would like to get a dvd burner even if it has to be external. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jeff Zidek
