Adding a discussion forum to the pool of online resources - it is a basic phpBB forum that I am hosting to encourage and foster discussions that relate to linux (I use Gentoo which is why I have named it Macintoo but it is essentially to be distro agnostic). This is not a commercial venture or anything and does not aim to compete with the wikis, mailing lists or other excellent resources but to compliment them. i am very keen on the forum based approach to troubleshooting and community development so I feel that this is something that I can do to contribute to those who have gone so far ahead of me :-) and provided so much selfless support. May the source be with you ;-)
http://www.sourcepoint.com.au/macintoo/forum This is a cordial invitation to all or any who may be interested in discussions, reading my trials and tribulations or contributing to the resources that are on the web - I am hoping to have a good link list and some helpful howtos etc. Will > Send Mactel-linux-users mailing list submissions to > mactel-linux-users@lists.sourceforge.net > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mactel-linux-users > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Mactel-linux-users digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
