I'm thinking about working on the FAQ this weekend, and one thing I'd
like to do is to break it up into at least two parts:
--one which is general, and
--one which focusses only on dselect and dpkg.
Of course, we could break it up further. For example, we could have

No need for such complications. Debian-user is fun, and I like the

Hi,
I am a Linux (and Unix) "newbie" so before installing Debian I followed
this list for a while to get a sense of the likely problems and possible

By the time they understand the standard they aren't newbies anymore. How
about a form for them to fill out on the web page? Then post the filled
out form to a list subscrib
I think what we need first is a person to coordinate all of the oldbies
who are answering questions. There has to be a schedule, perhaps a mail

We could do this, but we'd have to have an organized force of
"debian-oldbies" on duty on the list to answer questions.
This is a good idea, because a number of pe
