Any hints to as a place that mirrors the other lists, like redhat-develop, redhat-install, etc? I follow those from time to time, but their archives are not being updated by Red Hat either. > The index is sufficiently large to make updating on the fly too > resource > intensive.

SuSE maintains an online archive of their lists, but it's not searchable. Discussion about it brought out that a large part of the problem is a) the 'resources' required, and b) the cost for a suitable search engine. Apparently the more powerful ones like Glimpse and whatnot are not free for businesses and the like. Debian *does* have pretty good searchable archives, but they do qualify for the free version!! I'm not very experienced w/ this sort of thing; what exactly are people referring to when they say the resources required are too great? Too much disk space, too much RAM, too much CPU speed, or too much machine time? Too much of all the above? > I personally think they are a much better resource than Red Hat's > archive, but I am biased. > It'd be hard not to be a better resource than the RH archive ;) At least yours works as advertised!!
