I have a philosophical problem adding this to the FAQ. It is
the "Red Hat" FAQ, so we should try to keep it Red Hat specific,
and this isn't.
Perhaps we should have a Red Hat mailing list FAQ? I'd like to
see that, but I'd also like to see it handled by the user base
(ie *you* guys, not me :-). I would be willing to put it on our
web site and even change the danged footer for every message.
If anyone would like to volunteer to maintain such a doc, email
me privately. The maintainer would *have* to keep the FAQ in
linuxdoc-sgml format, though. (It isn't hard to learn, I promise.)
