T.E. - I signed up for Twiki, Finally! Now what to I do for entering information, and how many can I put in? Read your post back to Anne, but I don't agree with you about the worth of this page. I think it's great! The most significant reason for this is because this will be a list of scenarios by list members, who are significantly more accessible than many of the ones on the MandrakeBizCases site, some of whom don't work at those companies anymore, and a huge bunch that will never answer requests for help or advice.
While those are good refernece points ( the Bizcases ) about how wide-spread Mandrake is being deployed, it doesn't give a lot of particulars about the hardware, configurations, problems and solutions, etc. Because of that alone, this site will be better, but like any new site, it will take some time to catch on. List-members should be reminded and encouraged to input their information onto the site regarding their situations and solutions, Tips and Tricks, etc. As you and the whole list are aware, the members are global. That means different time zones. So, for example, if Stephen is asleep ( or if Joe Hill is filtering everybody! Sorry Joe, I just couldn't resist! Grin! ), and I have a similar problem to what they had, I can look up their submissions to see how they solved it. That also saves me from having to wake them up, or wait for an answer that I need right now ( assuming that they'd let me wake them up! Grin! ). See what I mean? The thing to remember is that this is payback for all those "Glory Days" when we were considered crazy, eccentric ( or as I prefer to think of all Linux enthusiasts - "Bleeding Edge" ), computer nerds. Now that Linux is gaining a lot of popularity, lists like this one will become very popular. Sort of a Non-Profit, Open-Sourced version of Bill Gates! And we get to give them the BIG - I.T.Y.S. ( I TOLD YOU SO !). Like the man said,...PAYBACK'S A BIATCH! We'll be the initial entry-point for an ever-increasing amount of newbies, and we'll be considered Linux "Gurus" ( I hope I didn't make that sound too sarcastic? Grin!). If the type of information this list offers is superior to other distro's ( Please begin flame wars AFTER I have left the building! ), we'll be well on our way to ,...wait for it, WORLD DOMINATION!! And really, isn't that what we're all striving for? Grin! Grin! Sorry for all the Capital Letters everyone. They're just in here for emphasis. Please forward all complaints to /dev/null ! Anyway, keep the good ideas coming! My rant ends here.
