proper authoritative organization? hoo boy. let's
not go there. fortunately for the species homo
sapien, and speakers of english, and rights-enjoyers
in the early stages of the u.s. republic, /to each
his own/. slashdot is doing a good job in their
corner of the 'net, and others are too. diversity
is good; it's just very new still, and will take
some time to iron out the kinks.
without any 'bill says do it this way' thank you.

on anyone, delightful! we can come see it if we want.

i was hoping so. otherwise i'd be preaching to the
choir, which can happen.
got any specific questions about how to go about
delving into debian? any unix/linux knowledge to
pull from or are you windont/mac only?
