hi, no, i didnt meant it to break up this list....god beware..... sorry if it was not so clear to anyone. the news stuff should still be posted here, as most of it relates to linux in some way. my thought was to give a place for (excessive ?) discussions on that topics besides this list, not really replacing it but rather relaxing it a bit.... also the new list is more meant as a general talking place around such topics, or anything related to the os-news...... i also wont miss the news postings here ;-) greets, chris Am Freitag, 22.

SLE is a wonderful environment where everyone from the newest ->Linux user to the veteran *nixer can focus on our favorite topics: SuSE, ->Linux, and Linux vs. MS.

Agreed. It seems that all the OT posts..arguing and other such things made it feel like your favorite bar or coffee house..but I guess we will now have to stick discussing coffee as it were. It's a shame that people we a bit too far after the [OT] subject stuff was agreed upon.
Oh well. I guess when I go on vacation next time I won't have 500 pieces of mail when I get back...it will be very strange indeed.
