 * Remember to use the show preview button before you save a page.
 * If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page.

Other useful pages are: how to edit, how to write a great article, naming conventions, manual of style and the Wikipedia policies.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Angela. 22:49, Apr 6, 2004 (UTC)

Debian stuff on the Free Software page
The main point that I was trying to preserve is that the 7.5K package count means source packages, not binary packages, because license-wise, the source packages are what matters. It is probable that the source package count increased since 2003, but I doubt it was by three thousand...

In the context of free software, the OS kernels that Debian supports aren't really necessary to list, and that also opens the Pandora's box: some are better supported, some are worse, some are significant, some are not, some have this FS license, some have that FS license... I think it's better to let such things exist on the Debian page which is duly linked from Free software. If someone wants to know more, they'll click through. --Shallot 09:09, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Same gnome
I didn't really mean to suggest that you were odd :). I actually quite understand the phone non/phone distinction, but I figured it didn't really belong.  Anyway, welcome to Wikipedia, hope you're having fun! moink 15:11, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)
