I've seen non-Linux stuff here from time to time, but I think there's a gentlemen's agreement that it should be relatively rare, and that the more Linux relevant it is, the better (e.g. I doubt anyone would beven think to complain that a question about Debian GNU/KFreeBSD or Debian GNU/Hurd was off topic). --Ken _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
