Re: debian forum
The people who help out will always be there. They help out, not becuase
the have to, but becuase they enjoy helping people. Anywayz not much i can
say in response to your message, as all your points are very valid.
I would like to see the forum work out as, the second palce to go if the
mailing list does not help. And the palce to go for in depth solutions to
problems and a place to through ideas around and talk "off topic".
Here is the address again:
