Since I help maintain a Debian system, I'd like to know just
what this means, particularly. If you feel that this is an
inappropriate venue for that discussion, I'd appreciate an
off-list email discussion with you. So far, I've not had
a problem with Debian at all, unlike the experience I've
had with Fedora Core.

Thanks.
