Flight Testing -- Problem

Thank you so much for your ultra fast responce. I guess I was here at
the right time. I cut my  (debug info sourcing) teeth on breezy
(colony 3ish- present). I think I am able to provide some valid input.
I have a background in embedded devices (not the modern-multi
megabyte, multi gigahertzish setups, just some 8-16 bit simple
things). I can read some C, but I will admit I'm not current. I can
do/read some ASM, basic, Pascal... etc... but my previous UNIX
experience was quite limited (and in the '80s). I intend to learn c++
and OOP.
I can only read/write english. (I'm an american with a french
background.. so I know a couple of swear words).
Can a person like me maintain a package or two.. I'm interested in
writing music, programming, embedded systems (no experience with
embedded linux), childrens' education... linux, debian, ubuntu,
kde.......


Is there someone willing to hold my hand for a bit? I think I would
like to help (k)ubuntu and debian. I have a few moderately powered
X86-32 computers at my disposal for compiling, etc.
