Saner heads might consider mirroring linux mailling list info into the comp.os.linux.* hierarchy. And you also have to consider that some boneheads have started an alt.uu.comp.os.linux.* hierarchy. And in a week or two, John Palmer will probably create free.comp.os.linux.* As the sources of information for linux become more widely scattered and disconnected, I am glad that I picked an OS, NetBSD, that has an actual center for disseminating sources, binaries, and info. -- Rick Kelly rmk@rmkhome.com rmk@bedford.progress.com rmk@tencats.tiac.net
