| Jul 5, 2011 at 11:16 | comment | added | xenoterracide Mod | idk, I've asked a few gui questions, and answered some too. Ask more Gui questions? | |

| Jul 5, 2011 at 10:56 | comment | added | tshepang | Now you are speaking like someone who already knows the goodness of Stack Exchange. I was referring to someone who didn't. If that guy doesn't find decent answers, the next best thing was to ask on the official channels. Anyways, my point is that their Google search term will be How to do X in Debian instead of Debian Q&A. | |
| Jul 5, 2011 at 10:41 | comment | added | Jez | There are plenty of StackExchange sites which have alternatives on the web (in fact, I defy you to find one that doesn't!) The fact is, StackExchange sites often have better quality answers than you'll get elsewhere (or answers at all!) and it's often much more likely you'll get a good answers to your question if you ask here. | |
| Jul 5, 2011 at 10:36 | comment | added | tshepang | I would think you would then go ask on the official channels (mailing list, IRC, and/or forums). Why you use a 3rd party service? | |

| Jul 5, 2011 at 10:22 | comment | added | Jez | Unless you can't find the answer to the question, after which you may search for such a site. :-) | |
| Jul 5, 2011 at 10:16 | comment | added | tshepang | I agree. My reasoning was based on the fact that if you have a specific question, you google it, instead of searching for a site where you can ask (or search) such a question | |
| Jul 5, 2011 at 10:06 | comment | added | Jez | @Tshepang I disagree. If the question hadn't yet been asked on this site, it wouldn't have been linked on Google. Other sites with perhaps similar questions would be, but none of them may answer the specific question one has when Googling. What one therefore needs is a site where one can ask it and get a good answer, which would seem to be here. | |
| Jul 5, 2011 at 9:59 | comment | added | tshepang | That was the wrong Google search term. It should have been something like How to do X in Debian. | |
