A subject is off-topic here if it is [likely to be] of no concern to Debian users, not merely if it is not specific to the Debian operating system. Debian users might well be interested in better ways to administer and configure their Debian systems, even when such methods are not applicable *only* to Debian. And the point was made elsewhere recently that many/most of us are computer *users*, not developers or full-time administrators. If you have only time to read one or two technical lists, it makes sense to read those which are specific to your operating system(s), rather than pick from hundreds covering various languages, applications and computer science topics. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
