I haven't said it here on the list, but Debian is absobloominlootly great and I advertise the fact in my signature. I have thanked those on this list that have helped me make it so. Because the system is brilliant. But it is the interface between new user and the system, the people on this and other such lists, that make it remarkable. The cooperative spirit, people willing to give of their time, people willing to share their creations, people willing to put out; without demanding a return other than the knowledge that someone is using what they have created and loving it. Demonstrating appreciation and paying homage every time a program works, does something we want. Recommending it to others. Is there greater praise? Maybe money would be better for some, but many of us don't have it, and buying, after all, is only the purchase of complaining rights and the destruction of appreciation. Open source is so much better in practice and ideology. That what I reckon anyway. Thanks to everyone involved and trying to be involved.
