It seems, Daniel, that you have made no friends or influenced anyone here.

What's with the pissing contest guys?

FWIW, and on the OT, I can't be bothered investigating why Nooby-Noobness's Kali Linux Desktop is messed up, because I don't know Kali Linux (or many of the other 1000+ "Debian derivatives"). So I'll point such questions at the appropriate forums.
This is the Debian user forum, and trying to support hundreds of distros that are slightly different in unknown ways is madness.
Most distros have dedicated support channels, use them.

Umm, post links to the appropriate forum? Say "go away" in a nicer way? Put a big sign on the door?
Why do we want this, anyway?


My take on this thread is leaning further towards "obvious troll is obvious" by the moment...
Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action. Four times is Official GNOME Policy.

On a side note, thank you for pimping my post count :D
No sir, it is as the title says: Direct vs Rebuilt derivates, differences and the fact that some direct derivates are Debian into the core, so into this aspect, can be addressed as a "Debian user" problem.
Not necessarily. Many "direct" derivatives have different config files that we here at "pure" debian user forums might not know about.

Can you run wine on pure non-free debian? nope. thats why. So, again, will you deny help if the user is using non-free Debian repo?

You know nothing about Diablo 2 Private battlenet servers. I said about what I need to run the server, not Debian, if you don't know the difference, please, do not spread misinformation.

about what Debian really is.
Please, do a quick search and you'll notice the confused is you.

Now you are talking what this post supposed to be talking about, but it took a lot of patience by me...

That's when knowing for good Debian pure is useful for all Debian eco system.

Why haven't you said nothing about the issue?? Because you're "too pure" to talk about it?

But guess what? It can't. I have already explained to you why in my previous long post. If you want to contradict me, fine.
Capitain_Jack wrote:So, again, will you deny help if the user is using non-free Debian repo?
I can deny help if user is not using Debian. If he is using, for example Sparkly Linux, I will be kind enough to point him/her in the direction of Sparkly Linux help forums. Which I already did. Twice.

Heh, three posts from OP and I haven't even finished this one...I call troll and humbly ask admins to close this thread.
