welcome to the world of learning another distro, and what the real differences are. :P p.s. you don't have to, but I leave questions unanswered for ~24 hours, it gives people a chance to review and upvote things, as peopled tend to look at answered things less I've found.xenoterracide– xenoterracide2011-01-21 18:17:12 +00:00Commented Jan 21, 2011 at 18:17

often they do, I just do it so everyone has a chance to earn points I don't think this Q&A would have gotten the upvotes it did had I accepted the answer the 5 minutes after I was told the 1 wrong character I did. but as I've said, you can do this however you want, unlike accepting your own answer there's no limits on when you have to do a regular answer. It also gives people a chance to write even better answers.xenoterracide– xenoterracide2011-01-21 18:27:40 +00:00Commented Jan 21, 2011 at 18:27

@xeno BTW I never hesitate to change Accepted answer whenever a nicer one pitches. Also, luckily Gilles doesn't care whether there already is an accepted answer or not.tshepang– tshepang2011-01-21 18:30:25 +00:00Commented Jan 21, 2011 at 18:30

right... I just started doing it because it seems to keep more people (maybe not @gilles) interested for longer. about 1 day is the max though.xenoterracide– xenoterracide2011-01-21 18:32:44 +00:00Commented Jan 21, 2011 at 18:32

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
