Sometimes people are intelligent but that doesn't mean that they are willing to spend days just to fix these problems, maybe being intelligent doesn't make you interested in learning obscure switches for debian. (and knowing these doesn't make one intelligent). So it's not about stupid users, it's about having a configuration that works by default, without requiring people to go throu mailing lists to learn what they need to install debian and have it working. -- Salvo Tomaselli -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
