+10 Glenn, we need a pair of new lists, but I'd name the new debian list
debian-arm-user, and if it really worked, raspbian might become the
media mecca it wants to be, leaving those of us who want to do real but
non-media work using debian on arm hardware, to wag that dog. I don't
think having raspbian in the list name would do anything but dilute it
as you alluded to already. There is lots of other arm based hardware
being peddled besides the r-pi's, and which are sorely lacking in
non-media support. A real list, supporting debian linux on some of these
other platforms, could rake in 1000's of new debian arm users rather
quickly.
Cheers Glenn and a better 2020 to all, Gene Heskett
