Truth be told, I use BL very rarely and rely mostly on more up-to-date distros like RH 7.3 and Mandrake 8.2, so this list has offerred some good learning opportunities for me in that respect. I, and some others I've seen posting here, were on another list where BL questions were fielded by the creator of BL, among others. But the creator of BL left that list. I've seen him post to this list, so you will likely see him responding to questions regarding BL here. I think he's probably quite busy now on his next release of BL, but you may see him pipe in on this thread as well.
