(This is essentially a repeat announcement of an earlier post.
I put it here because I figure the people who really need to see it
may not be reading comp.os.linux.announce.)
There is now a channel on the mailing lists specifically for
new Linux users (either just new to Linux or new to Unix in general).
This channel is meant to be a forum where *no* question is too stupid,
and no one will ever be flamed for asking "inappropriate" questions.
It seems to have been pretty successful so far: I've seen quite a few
questions get answered on the NEWBIE channel when they might have been
considered too basic or not Linux-specific enough for the NORMAL
channel.
If you are a newcomer to Linux, or an experienced user who
wants to help out, please join the NEWBIE channel by sending mail to
linux-activists-request@niksula.hut.fi, with this as a header or as
the very *first* line of your message body:
X-Mn-Admin: join NEWBIE
That's all. I hope some people find it useful!
