RE: Debian Knowledge Base ?



Well, wish and it shall be... or about to be.  Linux.org has a search engine
which will search all the relevant sources of information, it would appear.
It's not up yet; and I would hope that the Debian site would be included in
their searches.

I'll second that. These searches could also be tied into the bug tracking
system as well.
