I agree. I was on the newbie list for about a month and got tired of having
80-100 emails to sort through on the subject "installing linux". The list has
it's place, and was a great source of help but after I got it installed I
couldn't get a decent response on a tougher question. Here I have answered
most of my problems by reading what other people have asked.
I am not trying to start another flame, but here is my suggestion to remedy
this problem:
Impliment several, more specific, mailing lists. ie. one for installation
help, one for driver development, one for people who actually like too much
caffiene ;^) You get the point. I used to ber on atleast four different
mailing lists from Red Hat at any one time. the redhat place has probably
fifteen to twenty different lists to choose from. So maybe some of you experts
in a specific area of linux could volunteer to host a mailing list. I would do
so but I can't even find actors to help with the scripting language thing, thus
I am far from an expert.
just my two cents worth, with NO REFUNDS!
