I like the list the way it is aswell! :) I have found many of the questions posted by other users helping me out, and if the list was split, who would answer the newbies questions, other newbies?? - that would be a bit like the blind leading the blind.
The list benefits from allowing all to post any debian / linux questions, although if the level of newbie questions puts people off, perhaps they would like to write something like a complete begginer guide to linux the debian way. Something like a walk through of exercises, starting from buying the CD,basic commands leading up to having a basic but functioning x win system. I looked at all of the linux dists. before picking debian, and my decision was influenced by the level of support, although as i later found there is a distinct lack of 'absoloute begginer' help. Which if by the time i get there (long way off!) still isnt in exestance may attempt myself. Everybody has to start somewhere, even if they do need a little help finding there feet. About the bandwidth, i takes me 3 mins (tops) to dl a whole days posts including all of my other mail. (33.6 connection), so that is definatly not a problem, and for those who bandwith is a factor, there is always newsgroups. (also i live in the UK and have to pay for phone bill, as to online charges find a new isp - even AOL(uugghh) now do a unlimited access package) Rick Email -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] homepage -> http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/kitty5/ (Raytracing, 3D Animation and Emulation) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
