Hi, I'm very new here so pardon my impertinence! Is there currently an English speaking Skolelinux (or I guess debian-edu) Users (as opposed to developers) mailing list? If not, is there any intention to start one? It appears that there probably is a Norwegian one but an English one would broaden the field somewhat. The reason I ask is I'm hoping in the next few weeks to start a test in order to help my old school set up a Skolelinux network here in Dublin. The main teacher involved is extremely smart but not that experienced with linux. It would be very helpful for him to have a User Group (as opposed to a Developers Group) which would answer questions, give pointers, discuss issues etc. Personally, I would sign up for both lists but I would prefer not to ask/answeruser or basic admin questions on the Dev group and I think the technical level of discussion would be a bit off-putting to a teacher who is relatively new to linux. Presumably the point of Skolelinux is that teachers and school students are the main target. Perhaps a forum for them to discuss their issues and ask questions is important? At the moment I have a few questions which I would prefer to put to a Users list, eg * is it possible to get the beautiful KDE config from snofrix to work on venus? * is it inadvisable to use a backport of OpenOffice 1.1.X on venus? * Xeons are recommended (if I've translated the Norwegian hardware page correctly) and Athlon MPs are not so. What is the opinion on Opterons in 32-Bit mode? Gavin
