I haven't looked at the FreeBSD mailing lists, but I also think that comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc should be split into different newsgroups. It's quite busy and it's rather difficult to keep track of it. >How about making Freebsd questions a newsgroup? This would be a good possibility IMHO to split questions and discussions about the OS itself like the "Why isn't NetBSD popular?" thread. MB
