DEATH OF DEBIAN PREDICTED - NEWS AT 11!!!
Well, not quite...
Karsten commented to me off list that starting such a thread was
contributing to the excess. He's right, but I think it's something
interesting to think about.
Quoth Ignasi Tura,
Let's see if we continue this way or we just split
Interestingly, this increase has come at the same time as
web sites like debianplanet and debianhelp. Maybe if more
people knew about these resources (and more of us
knowledgable folks contributes to them), the reliance, and
traffic, on this list would decrease.
Thanks for the information !!

Hi folks,
I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed a signigicant increase
in posts in the last few weeks. It seems that, not that long ago, I'd be
lucky to get over 100 in a single day. These days it seems to be

It's a bit weird, because it's not as if there are any

Damon,
I think it's the redhat upgrade to 7.0! heeheehee.
Also, it could be that so many books are hitting the shelves about linux
and linux+pure=debian.
Linux in school is also exposing this distro to the next generation.
Microsoft STILL wants money for that thingy they sell.
Gosh, this
Well, don't laugh too hard.
It was the Red Hat 7.0 upgrade, its decidedly unnecessary expense and the
vocal presence in our company of several Debian advocates (Debian dweebs?)

You may be on to something here. I started looking at Debian parly because of
all the good things Debian users had to say about it in the other mailing lists
(ie gnome-list). Also I upgraded to RH7 =p. (What vendor would be so stupid
as to use an incomplete compiler that is totally

Wouldn't it be more correct to say, (linux + GNU tools) - impurities =
debian? I'm not a Stallmanite

Yes, I noticed it so. I usually go to geocrawler.com to read debian-user
archives. There is there a top ten mailing list. Since August we were the third

The last Mandrake install I did ticked me off. Potato was just released and I
thought I'd give it a try. Have since made Debian my permanent distribution
