How tough is it to look it up for yourself? FWIW - google utfw produces nothing useful, and neither does google acronym utfw. > google acronym dfsg > [mailing list postings ... nothing looks interesting in the 1st page] > google dfsg > [aha! first hit] > > Total time some twelve seconds. Go ahead, beat my time. That's not the point. Anybody else who read the thread not knowing much about Debian would encounter the same problem, forcing him to spend the twelve seconds just locating the information, plus a few minutes to read through the verbose version on Debian's web. It's much easier if you spend your own twelve seconds either (a) giving a footnoted link, or (b) giving a tiny explanation (like Christoph did), saving a bunch of people twelve seconds each, rather than saving yourself twelve seconds at the expense of everybody else. (Not everybody uses Debian, ya know. . .) - Dave -- Uncle Cosmo, why do they call this a word processor? It's simple, Skyler. You've seen what food processors do to food, right?
