What, is that a joke?

No.

I take it from your helpful response that the answer is no.

Hey yahoo, calm down. It was an honest question.

Sorry for such an asinine question. Guess I'll just have to look elsewhere for another distribution if that's the kind of attitude I'll find on this mailing list.

Oh my, people sure are tense this week. -- -ckm

Not that I care about these things, but I think that a forum is web based. I think yahoo groups supports both a mail interface like we are using here, and a web interface that lists by threads.

I don't think most of us know what a "user's forum" is. We are happy with the mailing list. If you want to start a "user's forum"--whatever that is--I don't think you will find any complaint on this list. Maybe you will find joiners. Maybe it will even be useful, who knows? (I hope that you are not real p.o.'d at us for not having one of these, but I guess we mostly think we don't need it.) --doug At 14:22 05/10/2002 -0700, Charles Griffin wrote:

I was wondering if SuSE had a users forum like the one set up for Mandrake users at www.mandrakeuser.org and the one for gentoo at forums.gentoo.org?

I don't know, what's a "users forum"?

Jeez, as a Linux newbie considering a move to SuSE, I thought that was a legitimate question. Discussion forums are much better than mailing lists or usenet, IMHO.

-- ckm ----------------------------------------- I was kinda wondering what it was too Chris? Didn't know such a simple reply would garnish such an unpleasant response from Charles! :o)

Charles, why not just use IRC and visit the #suse room? Pretty much the same thing from what I can gather and gives you immediate access to a lot of SuSE users at once!

Not to beat a dead horse or anything, but I feel I should explain my response to Chris' post. I honestly thought everybody knew what a forum was. I mean, www.linuxnewbie.org and www.linuxquestions.org for example are two pretty large and well known discussion boards -- also known as "forums." All my Linux friends visit those forums, among others, all the time and I was just wondering if there was one dedicated to SuSE. So, when I posed the question and got Chris' response, I figured he knew what a forum was considering as how he appears to be a very experienced Linux user so his response seemed a little smart-alecky and it just struck me the wrong way. Evidently, I was mistaken and he, and many others, have no idea what a forum is. I jumped the gun on my response (I usually don't respond that way, I promise ;-) -- it's been a long week). I apologized twice already and I'll apologize again. I didn't mean to offend. Patrick, thank you for your suggestion about the IRC channel and thanks to the others who have emailed me privately with their thoughts and suggestions. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
