OK... so it suddenly occured to me...the LfC scheme is<br>great..but....where does it need promoting.<br><br>We have talked about it on this mailing list yes...but anyone on here<br>who has a problem with linux would just post here or be able to work it

IMO a site with content needs creating 1st then sacrificial members to metaphorically sign up  ready for those all important questions;

Does it tie in with promoting FOSS?? (God PLEASE dont kill me for asking<br>that!&nbsp;&nbsp;Little bit of a misunderstanding last time i asked something<br>about promoting FOSS cause it sounded a bit accusationary)</blockquote><div>
<br>&quot;Sound of a rock hard bar of fruit &amp; nut bouncing off Joe&#39;s forehead&quot;<br><br>I&#39;ve said it before.<br><br>&quot;Just by using Linux you are promoting OSS&quot; the clue is in the word &#39;promote&#39; to move forward, to increase, to advance.
<br><br>Every new user of FOSS is in effect promoting it even if the machine they have installed it on is Windows.<br></div><br></div>But hey I applaud you waving the FOSS flag :-)<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Regards<br><br>
Dick Turpin<br><br>Arch Linux is an independent i686-optimized community distribution for intermediate and advanced Linux users. Utilising a Rolling Release System packages are regularly updated and an ISO release is just a snapshot to the stable packages at that time. So there&#39;s no need for a fresh install the command 'pacman –Syu' upgrades the whole system.
