I intend to agree here, especially with all the work being done at
present on the installation aspect of Debian. This is going to make
Debian much more 'accessible' to the general population than it has been
in the past. I have been thinking even of proposing the formation of
another one or two mailing lists (I considered 'networking' to have
enough traffic to be classified as a separate topic), as Debian-User, as
the general mailing list is possibly going to become deluged. Though we
probably have some time before that potential occurs.

David.
