Hi: Don't discontinue it. Let's get the show on the road. Good to know we're all here.
I won't, but there's some work to do. For one, "we" (meaning you) should try to come up with a charter for the list. I.e Currently, it's A list devoted to the use and support of Linux in schools. Please note that we have a separate list for this topic that is specific to the UK -- suse-linux-uk-schools That's sufficiently vague to allow almost any topic. Maybe that's what you want, maybe not. Here are my opinions. I'd rather not see it become a list where people try to get support for Linux--we have general lists in three languages (and two specially setup up for blind users who are reading on a Braille display) that are better suited for this because of their size and activity. If people start debating the merits of various filesystems and vm implementations the non-technical people will get bored and unsubscribe. If suppport-type questions get posted they definitely won't be answered with the speed they would be on suse-linux-e. Also, I don't think it should nec. be specific to SuSE. If your school will only accept Redhat because that's "Linux" in their minds that's understandable given their marketing (of course we'd appreciate you trying to convince them otherwise :)) but it seems that the 'schools' part of the name should take precedence over the 'suse' part; we didn't create the list as a cheap marketing ploy. Anyway, feel free to send suggestions or comments to ml-admin@suse.com. -- -ckm
