I certainly do care about Debian - I've just (after long struggle with myself, as I don't like the sponsorship idea) gotten my first packages into Debian and so what?

Maybe I should fly over to USA or somewhere to ask somebody else in person? I don't care - just want _some_ answer. best regards, marek -- Visit: http://caudium.net - the Caudium WebServer /* A completely unrelated fortune */ Sometimes, too long is too long. - Joe Crowe
