This sounds like a good idea, but I'd sure like to see one
of the lists a superset of the others if that's possible (a
la crossposting?)  Also, there's a new section in linux
journal providing help with various distributions.  Last
time I checked, Debian didn't have an entry.  Perhaps we
should come up with a debian-support list?
