John,

I'd like to make a suggestion. Could you make this forum more like the Knoppix or Gentoo user forum? Instead of having one "Help" forum with dozens of pages, break it down into specific topics. For example:

HD Install
Multimedia
Networking
Laptops
Apt-get
X and Fluxbox

These are just off the top of my head, but you see what I'm getting at.

humm..redhat and gentoo are company based distros.. a lot of people work on those distros, AFAIK
and while there are just 10 or 20 msg a day...would it be worth doing?

Maybe not right now - but it certainly (for now) would help to be "over-organized" - but with enough optimism it would surely help contain the flood of questions that are sure to come when this takes off.

I'll do some reshuffling, good idea.

@davide

I don't remember mentioning anything about Redhat, that's for sure! Since when was Gentoo a "company" based distro? It is probably the most community based distros out there, you might want to give it a closer look. Anyway, I'm off-topic there.

I'm looking at long-term, 10-12 messages a day mulitplied by a year + ends up being an unnavigable mess down the road, and not very user friendly.
