Is that before or after /usr/src/linux is linked to the new source tree?

More so because of the Debian community. I can still remember when I was
new to Debian and Wichert, who at that time was the project leader, took
the time to answer my simple question:
What's an architecture?
I was probably in my sophomore year at college. I swear I just sat in my
chair completely in awe; care to imagine the last time you met a Windows
user whose question had been answered by the project leader of, say,
Windows ME? The next day Bram answered my question on the vim list :-}.
FWIW, the mainstream talks a lot about the business development model of
free software, but not many people realize that for a lot of developers
it is about principles and pride in one's creation and, sometimes, a
little ego. I doubt if any amount of money can buy that.
The Debian Way - the next step in economic evolution.
