Depends really on whether you want a news/discussion site like slashdot or a plain discussion site. For the former I'd recommend postnuke above slash (see www.postnuke.com) because it's much easier to install and maintain. I'm told slash can handle a greater load, but most people don't get the traffic that slashdot does. For the latter, most people seem to use phorum or phpBB2 :) -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
