Yes *some* people do think that SUSE Linux is in fact openSUSE Linux, despite the very first paragraph on openSUSE.org which states otherwise, and despite the product itself always being called SUSE Linux, with a SUSE Linux filename on the ISO and a SUSE Linux splash screen and a SUSE Linux everything... > I would not think ingoing to suse-linux-e if I had an issue with something > I downloaded from openSUSE. I go there if I download from SUSE. On the other hand I would. I wouldn't look for a mailing list called Macromedia after I downloaded Dreamweaver, I would use the dreamweaver list ;) http://en.opensuse.org/Communicate#Mailing_Lists The rather large page-wide notice in yellow with a large (i) information icon asking people to post to the correct list, and the description beside each list stating its purpose would lead me to post to suse-linux-e. I understand your intentions for wanting to educate people about the differences between openSUSE.org and SUSE Linux and it's admirable but until such time as they learn to help themselves by reading the help that's offered once in a while; I shall simply send them on their way with a pointer to the right place. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
