I just tried to search for something about serial terminals using the
maillist search at redhat. What an utterly useless piece of crap. I
knew that Chuck was providing a service and now that the moongroup
searches all come back with 404 errors, I am really bummin.
I just wanted to say:
Thanks Chuck for all the time and other resources you put into such a
useful tool for so long. I fully understand the need to prioritize
life's demands and support your decision to cut out the time spent on
the list stuff.
It has filled a need for me and I am now searching for something to fill
the void. What is everyone else doing to search this list? I can
usually find what I need using other tools but given the extremely high
signal to noise ratio on this list and the incredible knowledge of some
of the participants I would like to have a means to search this list
only.
Of course redhat could actually build a tool or hire Chuck to set up
their site and I would be happy too.
BTW Redhat, I am about to purchase my 4th or 5th (I forget which) copy
of your distribution and think that this list is by far the most useful
resource availible for this distribution. I think I would be willing to
pay a small support fee for a useful search tool. I say I think because
I believe the free support your users get from this list is often the
resaon they stay around to buy new releases. This alone should provide
a sufficent ROI for what ever time it takes to get this working. If
Chuck could do it in his spare time on his own hardware then I am hard
pressed to believe that a comany the size of RedHat cannot find the
resources to do this properly.
Sorry for the small rant but I truly have never been able to figure out
why RedHat does not provide a way to tap such a valuable resource and
provide ot to all its users. I see that I can DL the entire 71MB
archive (not sure what time frame that gives) but why make everyone
waste all the diskspace and time to set it up when you could be getting
all the traffic, promoting your products in banners, and enhancing the
value of your Brand and distro at the same time? It is beyond me. It
trully is.
My two cents (US).
