Ever thought about starting one of your own?

OK.
Freebsd-questions is wonderful and I find a lot of answers there, but the
signal-to-noise is low when you are just looking for IT-oriented
information regarding FreeBSD. Especially regarding systems implemented
for an office/LAN environment.
I was wondering if there is any mailing list or newsgroup devoted to IT
on FreeBSD? Google is not returning any hits on this, nor the listing on
freebsd.org.
Your question parses, but it is not clear what specific thing you have in
mind that would seperate an IT-oriented list from a non-IT oriented list.
Can you either give an example question or two, or can you say why
freebsd-questions is *not* IT-oriented?
Sorry for the slow reply...I was out of touch for a day..
I guess I'm thinking that there are just a lot of things that you get into in
a corporate environment . "For instances" are hard to think of off the top of
my head, but, how about implementing Citrix NFuse on Tomcat on FreeBSD? They
always assume Linux or Solaris or (sorry..SCO..8-) ) and while you can make
it work on FreeBSD, you spend a lot of time fixing stuff that probably
someone else has fixed before or conversly, you should be sharing thi info so
others don't have to wade through the 'discovery' process.
Or does your question mean you looking for a list whose members are mostly
sysadmins and network managers, rather than end-users?
Exactly.
FreeBSD doesn't
really make much distinction between an end-user and a sysadmin [1], but
you might find freebsd-stable or freebsd-isp to come closer to what you are
looking for.
What I'm saying is a list like freebsd-isp, but focused on corporate IT with
FreeBSD. -isp is helpful, and I *am* subscribed, but doesn't include a lot
of IT types.
