forums.debian.net gone

I think there is a difference in what is being posted here and reality. Most of the members that actually show up everyday at the Debian Users Forum are there to help others not ask questions.

PS. It is good to see firmilyer faces and Thank you LQ for the offer. As a user of both forums I appreciate the willingness to work with each other.

So this is where the Debian Users Forums crew escaped to?! :lol: I read this trend a few days ago, in any case I hope that the forum will be up as soon as possible in whatever form. Btw, I still have copies of my HOWTOs so I'll repost it sometime later. In case if anyone wish to check the old forum, you can still check it using google's cache and a good bit of memory exercise.

ahcnirrag --> garrincha's mirror.

Shame on you Dean...fancy forgetting that

It also runs fine on my laptop.

I just love the feature here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/lqspy.php

I hope that if the Debian Users Forum gets back up they will include this.

Excellent!

forums.debian.net temporarily gone.
Work is underway to restore this service. It has been temporarily disabled in the wake of a compromised forum admin password. DSA, 2009-04-22.

Is it an evil mirror? (said using my best Dr Evil impersonation)

You (almost) nailed it, me thinks...you forgot that it will take a few proposals, votes, and resolutions though...

You bet they won't. If they didn't bother with the favicon, they won't bother with that either And it's OK with me.

I never did like the mods there much, as I know they dislike me, lol.

They can't ban him for what religion he believes in, can he?


I like apt-get, but I use aptitude when apt-get gives dependency problems.

I also use Gnome. What is wrong with Gnome? I also use kde3.5.X and I like both....

Hi Pick2, good to see you around.

Thanks Absent Minded , I just don't get out much anymore
It's nice to see the "tongue-in-cheek" crowd has gotten this thread moving in the right direction !
All that's left is for Joe Sixpack to comment on Levene's cat and we'll be rollin'

There once was a Mod named Lavene
Who's Rants really made the Scene
When Her cat got away
She chased it all day
It ended in Joe sixpack's Ravine

awww lawwwd someone had to mention joe sixpack, now if they get granny smith, and average joe then we will be ready to be user friendly....thank god since everyone I know wants to use a OS designed for the lowest common denominator, they want to be using the same stupid tool given to those too stupid to operate something that requires some learning....

that was fun....next cliche please....

The last newest version of KDE was 4.1 and I must say, it was very... Krunchy...


You say that Gnomes belong in the garden?
My computer is my garden!

(I live in the city, so no where to plant.)

Also, did anyone notice that this site runs on nginx servers? I would have thought it runs on Linux...
