Re: Linux Will Get Buried (Off)



Hi everyone:

I will not respond to this on the user list after this post, unless I deem it absolutely necessary. It could easy develop into a flame war, and so I won't encourage it.

In my opinion, this topic has nothing to do with Debian specifically, so this discussion has no place on a debian-user list. The purpose of this list is to help users with or discuss Debian issues.

The only reason I'm responding now is for the sake of new users. I think we really must develop some form of written etiquette for posting.

We have already lost respected members of the Debian community in the last year or so, because of debates on the use of the lists. I don't want to see that trend continue.


These are larger concerns in the Internet community as a whole, such as DRM. Might I suggest the creation of a separate forum for such things as the DRM/fair use debate, and the various merits of Apple OS X?

T.J.
