After talking to lilo of freenode staff about this matter, I was
advised that ##debian (yes, two '#') and not #debian-friendly is the

I don't think that #debian is a place for newbies to turn to when they
need help. When newbis ask for help they face a very urgent problem
and are usually overwhelmed by it. For their questions to be answered
in #debian they must follow a certain protocol which is strictly
enforced with all means p

d-u is run by the debian project. If this list fell into anarchy
(insert joke here) it could be cleaned up by the project. The same is not
true of #debian. irc brings out the worst in people, to the point where I
just lurk unless I know the bulk of people on the channel in person.

On average there are 5 to 7 Debian developers on either net. And on top of

Greetings,
Just wanted to remind you that #debian channel is still available. In the last
month it grew quite a bit. We usually have at least a couple of
developers on to answer your questions, and to simply chat on various
debian-related topics. #debian is available on undernet and linpeople,
