I think it would be good to adjourn the discussion to comp.os.misc--if
the volume keeps up, it will be apparent to the net.community that a
separate newsgroup would be appropriate.
(Note that it is generally considered bad form to try to create a comp
group when there is not already sufficient *news* volume to justify
it. This is not true of the alt heirarchy, but then many sites don't
receive that.)
On the other hand, how many people are on the mailing list? If it's a
small group of people, a mailing list is appropriate.
A periodic posting to comp.os.minix as well as comp.unix.sysv386 (yes,
it's not system V--pity the name was changed from comp.unix.i386) might
help more people become aware of Linux.
