why don't videos mention community repo and packages?

#1 Post by notquite »

I almost didn't try MX as I had heard abt it for a while but put it under the Debain, "nice system but ancient software" label. I had watched a few vids on it but no mention of community efforts to help with newer software.

My videos in fact do mention it, but it's hard to overcome reviewer debian "knowledge "

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

Yes I did notice in one of your videos I watched that you did so. But the reviews I watched just ran through the installed programs, like they do, but didn't mention anything abt community repo. To me it is a BIG plus

Its a huge plus. We are making headway though. A few of the British and austrailia reviewers have notices and it's getting a little better known every release. Now if I could just get some of the us based reviewers.to take a little more time...

Might have a trick up our sleeves come mx17 to help address this.
