Ritwik says: U are very right. The name "Adda" turns on Bengalis. Infact myself and Anindya had a discussion on it and wanted to have a list in which anything can be discussed. Logically there must be something to do with "Linux". On the other hand let us think about those who have not heard about "Linux" or who shy away from using "Linux". How can we target them. It is my personal opinion that if we can create an interesting people can come in and enjoy then the same platform may be used as a tool to popularise the "Environment". I am thinking this way : There are people who are somewhat chauvinistic (without taking its negative meaning) and who would like to join in. I know my thinking is very unstructured. Please come with more suggestions. At least suggest some name which has very little to do with Linux directly. > > Totally my personal opinion, this. > > >02. mailing list name : [support] for all who do not feel comfortable > >in the present [Bangla Penguin] list or want to ask any stupid (so > >called) question.
