First of all, I have been very happy with this list for the entire 24
hours or so I've been on it. I have taken care of both of the major
hangups I've had with my system, and I've also been able to contribute
to helping other people.
It's a really wonderful resource, but I do have a few questions; to wit,
What is the relationship betwen this list and the
linux-mandrake bug reports? I know that if I want an answer/workround
quickly, this list can't be beat, and I know that if I find a "serious"
bug (whatever that means) I can report it on the bug report page, but
where I should I got with general complaints and suggestions about how
the Mandrake folks could improve their distribution? If I post it here
will the right people see it? Do they mind if marginal "bugs" are
reported on the "bugs" page? And do the denizens of this list like to
see suggestions for Mandrake anyway?
Is there a FAQ for the list?
Is it really necessary for this list to be set up so that
"reply" replies to the entire list and group reply replies to the list
*twice*? I've sent a number of replies meant for individuals to the
list and/or sent replies to the list twice. It would appear that I'm
not the only one, at least for doing the former. (Ok, I'm really just
blowing off steam here. Of course it'd mess up all the people who are
used to it if it were changed at this point.)
