I'm concerned also. Seems as though some of the most helpful,

I'm still here, but, although I try to be helpful when I can, I
certainly wouldn't describe myself as knowledgeable except in a few areas!
With the diminishing numbers both here and on the Expert list, I wonder
if Mandriva should now consider dropping the somewhat artificial
distinction between 'Newbie' and 'Expert' by merging the two lists into
a single 'Users' list?
Many of us are on both lists anyway. Some very useful people seem to be
'experts' on most subjects, and I hope that there will still be
occasional 'total newbies' who are trying Linux for the first time, but
most of the people on both of the lists who are reasonably knowledgeable
about some things are newbies at things they haven't tried before.
It should be obvious from the phrasing of the question (and possibly
from the identity of the poster!) whether a newbie-level or expert-level
answer is needed, and I think it would benefit what's left of the
Mandriva user community to have us all gathered together on one list.
Comments welcome!
