Re: Debian News Group Needed
This list is *EXTREMELY* helpful for any problem a debian user may
have. I personally have never *not* gotten a solution to my problems
posted here, and the solution is usually posted just a few minutes/hours
after I send my help message.
As an aside, I think the sheer volume of people subscribed to this list
helps with the rapid replies. I was subscribed to the Slackware list (I
use Slackware at work) and answers took days to get with nowhere near
the quality of answers.
