This is indeed an unfortunate problem, both for Debian and for the Linux
community at large. I have found debian-user to be one of the best places
to get answers to all kinds of questions, debian-specific or otherwise (I
have no problem with this: if someone with the good taste to run Debian
runs it on a Debian system, I will try to answer questions about it). Is
there any central repository for archieves of all the different mailing
lists/newsgroups related to linux?
