Although, reconsidering: If I just installed Debian and I had trouble, and I was a newbie, I would google 'Debian support' Where this: https://www.debian.org/support states: "For user support in English, please contact the debian-user mailing list." which points to https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/ where it implicitly states that you should subscribe to get support. -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
