 LS  Is there any kind of logical not affecting a flag in find?
 LS Something similar to the `grep -v regexp' as opposed to `grep
 LS regexp'.

There is. Try find . ! -type d etc. See the section on operators in
the gnu find man page.

Grail really is pretty good. IIRC, it also ate up over 10 megs of
memory when I tested it.

 DG As opposed to

 DG linux-ft}.* ?

 DG Of course the difference is that these would be clearly separated
 DG from {misc,hardware,networking,announce,setup,answers,x} but that
 DG doesn't seem important.

A matter of taste, I guess. I'd prefer the distribution specific
groups to be labeled as such, so that they would be grouped
together. Of course, most of the distributions I mentioned probably
won't need newsgroups - most of them probably don't even have mailing
lists. But if even a few of them got newsgroups and they were called
c.o.l.distributionname.*, it would be harder to locate the groups
there are today among all the new ones.

 BCW newsgroups is a good idea.  As per my thoughts on splitting the
 BCW list, I don't think debian-user should be split into three
 BCW separate groups.

I agree with this. There are probably be many people who would be
able to help newbies, but who wouldn't read debian.install.

And isn't debian-devel the correct place for technical discussion, not
a new list or newsgroup?
