Just because people are quiet doesn't mean they're leaving the LUG. I think katrina did put a load on people and we're just in the daily grind getting things done. Also around that same time we were asked to keep this list to a more techinical direction rather than idle conversation. So that will decrease traffic as well. But I think it's nothing odd. It's how communities and society works. Sometimes we talk a lot(gather), sometimes not very much. I don't think that means everyone is out of the LUG.

If so, cat /etc/issue that might have the actual mandrake version in the file. If you haven't edited the file. BB
