I posted the availability of the new LinuxList in another mailing list I belong to ... That message follows:
[QUOTE] With regard to what has transpired a couple months ago on this very list, and with the current state of Microsoft's impending releases, a LOT of people are looking into Linux ... Even another list I'm on full of Windows Admins are asking the question why not give Linux a shot ... In response to this, I have set up a list for Linux Newbie's coming from the Microsoft world. If you would like to join this list, simply send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and instructions on how to post to the list will be sent to you ... Linux admins that have experience are encouraged to join and show us the way ... I apologize for this off topic message, but I think coming from the IMS background and knowing the pain of software prices, it's time for us to explore Linux as an alternative ... I only ask and offer that we help each other out by sharing our information together ... [/QUOTE] The people on this list are ISPs all around the world ... Overnight some subscribed and I see a couple .au and .uk domains in there ... While typing this, a guy from Hawaii joined ... Another messaged me back as follows: [QUOTE] I just joined your list. I've already moved some stuff to Linux and will be moving mail soon. I think David Glynn's ready too - you still around David? I'll try and get my new SA to join too. He's pretty knowledgable about Linux but not about mail servers. [/QUOTE] So if anyone is interested in getting into Linux and sharing their trials and tribulations, please join the list and share this information ... Send an email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] and you will be joined ... or visit the web site at http://linux.wombatsweb.com ...
