I have more interests than learning how to configure lighttpd and using iptables and selinux to secure it, how to merge git branches, or how to write a Django powered website. There's more to a users group than just howtos. Discussion forums are appropriate, imnsho. Besides, Darl is local, isn't he? -- . O . O . O . . O O . . . O . . . O . O O O . O . O O . . O O O O .
