First time here.

#1 Post by Denstark »

First time at these forums, seems like you guys are a good bunch. I'm by no account a linux guru, but I'm sure i can lend a hand wherever a hand needs lending :)

I'm from the Gentoo forums, got sent here by someone's signature. I like what you guys are doing here.

Just wanted to say a friendly hello and good luck!

The Gentoo forums really are busy, but that's the best thing about them. You can get answers there pretty quickly.

I hope this forum will see similar traffic in the future, once the Debian officials give it their approval and support it prominently.

Does Debian actually have an official forum?

AFAIK Debian doesn't have an official forum, yet. Maybe one fine day this forum will be promoted to the official Debian Forum. ;)

I'm hoping for n00bs, make me feel smarter :P
But on the other hand, professionals could be useful

But what are the plans about this forum? It's very dead here, and that is not a good sign.....

I don't know the plans... but what I expect is :

- use this forum as a real scale test
- make changes according to the users
- set it as the Debian official forum
