Re: [OT] Recent increases in d-u posts?
You may be on to something here. I started looking at Debian parly because of
all the good things Debian users had to say about it in the other mailing lists
(ie gnome-list). Also I upgraded to RH7 =p. (What vendor would be so stupid
as to use an incomplete compiler that is totally incompatible with everything?)
I haven't yet installed Debian, just looking for the time.

PS. I am in school too, so that may have had an effect
