I can understand french german spanish and some dutch, but I cannot write much

other languages,

which I for one welcome.

is american realy english anyway? or just a sometimes charming variation.

Greg...I've left several conferences because I felt that the
signal/noise ratio became unbearable so I can understand your
feelings.  On the other hand, this conference seems to have a few
people who have dubbed themselves list monitor, have set up their own
rules as to what's "proper" and have acted accordingly.  In doing so
they quickly label themselves as fools and it's always best to ignore
fools.

To decrease your own blood pressure, simply take their names and stick
them in a filter that deletes any msg coming from them.  You'll be

Unfortunately, this is the reality of the Internet.  Not only are many
people new to Linux, they're new to writing/interacting in public
forums.  Many things get said and actions taken that would never
happen if all of us were standing in a hall talking about Linux. 
Somehow, people need to learn that the 'standing in a hall' model is
what's going on here and that the same common courtesy towards other
humans that would be given in such a forum should be applied here. 
Further, we also need to learn electronic ways of "walking away" from
those few guys who are anti-social.  Filters are your feet in this
case.  

So, leave discussions containing people who irritate you but don't
leave the party.

Hi, I just want to add a comment to this discussion.
Fernando, at the end of his post wrote that he UNDERSTANDS english and italian,
not that he SPEAKS or WRITES these languages, which is very different. So I
supose he doesn't expect anyone to answer him in spanish, I think he asked for
help the only way he could and he will be happy to get information in english.
If he understands the answers or not is his problem, I don't think this could
bother anyone on the list, IMHO of course.

Cheers,
Carol^

Re: [newbie] Re: [newbie] Solicitar información

2000-09-14 Thread Carolina Kohler

Hi,
this is not an advertisement, it's in spanish.
This person would like some information on where he can get the drivers for the
Viper II Z200 of diamond. Here is the translation:

"Newbie group:
I need that you inform me, to know if you could send me or inform me in which
web I can download the drivers so that I can start Linux Mandrake in grafical
mode because the program doesn't recognise my colour board. It's the VIPER II
Z200 of diamond.
I hope that you can help me, because if it's not possible y will not be able
to run Linux on my pc.
Thank you very much. Fernando Vasconcelos."

 I can speak spanish but I don't know where to get this information, so I
can't help him. If someone does and he doesn't understand then I can help with
the translation.

Fernando, no sé dónde puedes conseguir los drivers, puedes probar en Google y
buscar desde ahí. De todas formas lo que si puedo hacer es ayudarte si hay cosas
que no entiendas  porque estén en inglés, aunque al parecer tú si que hablas
inglés, en cuyo caso creo que si posteas en inglés seguro que consigues más
respuestas, aunque ya se que no es lo mismo entender que hablar o escribir, es
mucho más fácil lo primero que lo segundo, de hecho cuando aprendemos un idioma
nuevo lo primero que hacemos es entender y luego empezamos a hablar, escribir,
etc.
 Un saludo y mucha suerte,
 Carol^
Ah! y no te preocupes si ves que hay gente que no le gusta que escribas en
español en la lista, siempre tiene que haber de todo (me refiero a toda clase
de personas). Seguro que en esta lista también hay gente dispuesta a ayudarte.
Si quieres tambien puedes escribirme directamente a mi dirección.

TRANSLATION OF MY REPLY (just in case..):

"Fernando, I don't know where you can get the drivers, you can try in Google and
search from there. Anyway what I CAN do is help you translate if there are
things that you don't understand because they are in english, although
apparently you do speak english, and in this case I think that if you post in
english sure you would get more answers. I know that it's not the same to
understand than to speak or write, the first thing is much easier, in fact when
we learn a new language the first thing we do is understand and THEN we start
speaking, writing, etc

Cheers and good luck,
Carol^

Ah! and don't worry if you see that there are people that don't like it if you
write in spanish to the list, there always must be all sort of things (I mean
all sort of people). Sure that on this list there are also people that will
offer you some help. If you want you can also write to me directly to my
address." 

P.S.: I've translated this so EVERYONE can read what I wrote in spanish, as
I've posted this to the list and not to this person privatly.

Cheers, and "buen rollito" (this is a spanish sort of modern expression that
the young people use a lot now, it means something like "good vibrations" in a
more slang way, I supose you know what I mean, don't you?)

[newbie] Re: [newbie] Re: [newbie] Solicitar información

2000-09-13 Thread Greg Stewart

To clear things up, and hopefully make this thread go away:

The Linux-Mandrake Spanish Website does offer similar multi-linugal suport
lists as the English website. However, the options are: English,
English-Summarised, French,  and Italian.

If a native Spanish speaking individual chooses to write to an english
speaking board there may be a good reason for it: ie. English speakers on
the list may be from America, and have more exposure to Linux, and benefit
from better availability and the lower overall cost of computers; May
popluate the message boards more heavily than foreign language boards, and
therefore offer better opportunity for response; May speak a language that,
although foreign, is better understood than the others; etcetera, etcetera,
blah blah blah.

Frankly, I'm getting tired of people and their bloated sense of
self-importance on this list, and have made up my mind that in a week, if
bashing and flaming doesn't all settle down, I'm leaving.

I appologise to those with whom I have a good rapport, and to whom I have
been able to provide assistance, but the fact is that there should be
absolutley no need to instruct new list members in methods of acceptable
conduct.

For those who appreciate my help, if I do in fact leave you may continue to
write me off-list. But as things has been going, there is simply not much
here to keep me anymore.

You're right.  Perhaps he can understand English but not compose in it?  I'd
be willing to be that he posted to the lists in the languages he can
understand, but wrote in his primary language.  I guess that's spamming, but
I have lots of empathy for newbies desperate for information. :/

I'm curious:  is it against the rules for someone to post a request in a
language other than the list language, looking for an answer in the list
language?

Sounds like spanish to me and  "solicitar informacion" is loosely  "asking
for information" no need to flame the guy. Some english speaking people can
also speak spanish. I thought the list was to help fellow penguinistas. If
I'm wrong let me know and I will unsubscibe from the list.   Dennis

The mandrake lists are available in several different languages - you
select which one when you subscribe via the website, although I did not
see a Spanish one.

I think the thing that irks most is that the guy states in his e-mail
that he also speaks English and Italian.  If he can speak English then
why not POST in English?  If his Italian is better than his English then
there is an Italian version of this list...

For the benefit of the others, it is NOT an advert - dwyatt is right.

It actually says (loosely translated):
=
Newbie Group: I need to know if you could send to me or inform me which
Web site I can download drivers from so that mandrake can boot in
graphics mode.  Linux does not recognize my graphics card.  This is the
Diamond VIPER II Z200. I hope that you can help me, since, if it is not
possible I will not be able to run Linux on my computer.
Thank you very much.

welcome in everybody. if enough people enter this newsgroup that
dont speak english, i would think that mandrake would see to it
that there are other newbie places for them.

inclusion if far better than exclusion

Si usted puede entender inglés entonces porqué no POSTE en inglés - esto
es una lista inglesa. Hay versiones de esta lista en otros lenguajes -
cheque el website de Mandrake.

Respeto,
Ozz.

(If you can understand English then why not POST in English - this is an
English list.  There are versions of this list in other languages -
check the Mandrake website.)

I don't think it's an advertisement.  Maybe something about getting the
Viper II to work in 7.1?
