Dear List: I have noticed lots of individuals on this list who have had difficulties getting their messages replied to, as there are so many messages which pass through this list daily. I have teamed up with an individual who owns a reasonably new chat server that has a lot of potential for a #Linux chat room, and have registered one on his server through his authorization. As the server is new, traffic is low, and therefore lag time is very respectable. The server is FAST and worthy to be used as a tool to discuss the best operating system on Earth... Linux. NOTE to more accomplished Linux users: I am taking applications for those who would like chatroom Operator status to watch the room when I can't be there, and to be able to answer questions. I will be accepting a limited number of OPS, with a ration of two OPS to every ten regular visitors. At this time, I am looking for two individuals who can demonstrate their knowledge of Linux, as well as provide me a history of chat room OP experience. To apply for OPS priviledges in this new room, on this new server, please email me at my alternate email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The reason to use this email address is that I am soon undergoing a change in internet service providers, and the one I am using now to compose this message will be obsolete within several weeks. Only experienced IRC OPS people and accomplished Linux/Systems administration people need apply. Before applying for OPS priviledges, please visit the official chatrooms web site and read it thoroughly first. If you agree with the purpose of the chatroom after reading it, then please proceed with the next paragraph of this email. The #Linux webpage (in relation to this server) is located at the following: http://primalwisdom.hypermart.net/info66_irc/Linux/ When applying, please summarize your experience with Linux, state a few of your accomplishments in using Linux, and also state your experience and time frames in which you have performed the duties of chatroom OP and on which server(s). For those of you who wish to begin visiting #Linux chatroom, you are also encouraged to first read the web page at the above URL so that you can use the services of the room to your own benefit as well as that of others. Then, point your chat client to the following chat server. We would really like to establish a good base of people who visit the room regularly. New chat servers aren't much fun at first until a little traffic begins to pour in regularly. To visit and hopefully stay a while, point your chat client program to the following: Server Name: Info66 Server Owner: |BONE| Server Location: chat1.info66.com Port: 6667 This is a NEW server, which means the #Linux chatroom isn't as congested as you would find on Dalnet or Undernet, etc. Take advantage of this new tool, and I hope to see some of you there! Thanks Kurt aka [DeNiZeN] (on the IRC)
