I did not call but sent mails to listmaster and
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Of
course no answer. To check if it was just me I
checked to archives at
moongroup and they didn't have any new messages
either.
I agree that I would feel alot better about a
company that would stand up and
say we got nailed by an attack, some dumbshit
unplugged the NIC, hardrive
crashed, whatever the hell happened rather than
just silence. I personally
have bought three copies of various versions of RH
and have concidered checking
out the other distros but the fact that this list
is here has kept me on
redhat.I know everyone must be busier than a one
armed paper hanger over there
but if you are going to host a service then a
blurb on the support site that
the upgrade to 6.2 wiped all the partitions (could
not resist :-) doesn't seem
too big a deal. I looked at freshmeat, slashdot
and dejanews for some clue
before I bothered them.
The MS silent treatment doesn't cut it in my
book. BTW the
www.redhat.com/support had problems during this
period too.
Where is good place to post/look to see if others
are having problems if they
are not up?
Does Caldera have a good mailing list?
