Hi, Would it be possible to add a link to FreeDOS newsgroups just below the link called "Mailing List / Chat" on the main www.freedos.org page?
I noticed this group is now starting to be used, and it's popularity will be further increased because Google will rank it higher based on popularity. All in all a good marketing strategy for FreeDOS. I'm planning the switch to NNTP today. Just a quick word about "spam". Right now there's less spam in the FreeDOS newsgroup than in the WiKi (which now has "debt consolidation" as the headlines!) However, it's very important to use a "thow away" email when subscribing to newsgroups, as the email addresses WILL be harvested. Just get a hotmail address and never look at it. Microsoft can pick up the bandwidth bill. One other quick note on NNTP, you CAN set up servers to require authentication if you want to, but personally I'm happy with the public ones. Good-bye to the list, and see you all on the newsgroups! -- Gerry Hickman (London UK) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
