Hi Jidanni!

Please no flame here, the following are my personal views.

That page should really be updated, since it contains:

- outdated stuff, like the old suspend problem with the microSD card or
  the references to zhone-session

- completely wrong ones, e.g. Xglamo does not need any configuration
  file.  OTOH switching to it can cause new bugs [1]

- advices that should be really not given, since they need a deeper
  knowledge of the tools involved (dpkg-divert and dpkg-statoverride)

- not helpful information, like the fact that when the Debian packages
  are broken you can anyway install Debian with a tarball [2].  Apart
  the fact that I do not remember the last time one of my daily `apt-get
  update && apt-get upgrade` cycles was broken, but if there is a
  problem with Debian on the FR this *must* be reported.  I think that
  the Debian FSO Team [3] has been quite fast responding for any issue
  appeared on the this list and while I make errors, I always try to
  tests any new upload the more extensively I can.

I, for myself, consider the Debian wiki pages [3][4] as the official
ones.  We have a unique possibility here: everyone has the same
hardware, thus the problem people encounter should be very specific.  I
really think that providing the information on double is not only
useless, but a loss of time.  Unfortunately, this is what is already
happening with the mailing lists [5].

Now, I would be better going back to real issues ;-)

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
