I second those sentiments too. As a Linux newbie who chose to run
Debian, I have a lot of newbie-type questions which I'm not sure are
Unix-related, Linux-related, or specifically Debian-related. I've posted
in linux-newbie for various topics but a lot of the replies I received
were RedHat or Slackware-specific. That is simply a recipe for
frustration for newbie Debians. I was thrilled upon finding this list,
one which dealt only with Debian.
If it's decided to tighten things up, the powers that be should give
thought to a Debian-specific newbie list if this list isn't going to
support that function.
