Sure . . . fyi . . . I didn't intend to open the "moral basket," but as many have rightfully pointed out, this is not a business. We, the Debian/openSource community are not in business. We're working with a system that suits us and are willing to help those who help themselves. If you're looking for a handout/handhold . . . well . . . it seems to me that many on this list are willing to do that, (again) despite the obvious repetition of the topic. No biggy . . . again, I've not been here that long, but since the topic was (in some sense) raised, I bother to bother. Should I be nice, in the sense that I make sure to be polite when I suggest that someone read the docs (that have been painstakingly (sp?) put together)? > > Lisi > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
