>- Q: Are you a: (note: you may choose more than one)

A: [X] User, using Debian for: daily tasks(web browsing, mail
checking), playing games, and such. Desktop usage. Also I use Debian on
router, to forward internet connection among computers(3) in a home LAN.


>- Q: Could you please provide one or two typical episodes (whatever

you feel like) of your life with Debian?

A: I wanted to install digital camera on my desktop with debian. All
I did was google ->"HOW-TO install digital-camera debian", after 5
minutes, I had my camera working .
Another situation: I wanted to forward internet connection to my 3 home
computers. I had a spare pentium 200 mmx working. All I did, was
installing debian on it, set forwarding using iptables and viola -it
worked . Even installing a new kernel was a piece of cake -I just
compiled a new kernel on my 2GHz desktop, packed it into a deb and send
it to router . Peace of cake


>- Q: Could you please provide one or two fantasy episodes of your life

with Debian, if you were to make a movie or a comic strip about yourself

with Debian.
>- Q: What was it?


A: My network configuration disappeard without any reason. One day,
the network just refused to work. I found that all the devices was down.
This wasn't nice, 'cause my router works without monitor, and when the
network got down, I had to actually borrow the monitor to set the
network again... (I used etherconf, so this configuration wasn't temporary)

>- Q: How did you get into it, and out of it?

A: I borrowed the monitor, set the network again and it still works
fine

A: Keep up the good work guys! Many people all over the world
appreciates your work! Bravo!
