Maybe then I will stop thinkin' about WTF I do use that distro (I mean ALT) for sooo long time... Well, I must explain myself. I hate all the problems of different encodings in the mail messages, plus that everything is mixed in the mail... And receiving a lot of emails is not fun. My mailbox is limited in size. I don't like receiving a thousands of messages when I don't need them. So I have unsubsribed from the russian community. Folks, I am utmostly sure the thing that annoys me in ALT Linux *most* - is the inexistence of Internet forum on it... And this should be easily repairable - just set up the server... And install the IPB on it. Even me, a completely newbie managed to start up that server after a couple of weeks - now our Institute has that forum on the intranet site, running on my machine. Old Pentium-150, plus ALT Linux + Apache+ IPB... :) Guys, why you don't even TRY to do it??? For a couple of months - to see if it will be good? Are you sure that I (and many other folks) won't pay, say, a buck or two a month to be able to post on it? Getting support on LRN forum is not fun, after all... You need the moderators and you don't want to moderate? Well, I may try to do it. You don't 'want to look the whole forum to see what's new? IPB does have the "New messages" filter. Of course, mailing-lists are the habit, I know. But it's the hackers' habit, you know. And you're selling (or are trying to sell) the distros for common users. //------------------------------------------------ WBR, A Linux newbie, Vadim Alexeenko, Institute of Cytology RAS ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

It's a bit harder to make it *really* work -- not technically, but as a *resource*. > Guys, why you don't even TRY to do it??? Because it sucks more. Believe me or not, I manage several MLs at linux.kiev.ua/lists.osdn.org.ua and we happen to have forums here. Forums are *much* more painstaking and happen to be more "dummish" in that regard that rare person able to answer the question will ever *see* it there. PS: I believe you could try to help Alexey Lubimov (avl@altlinux) with developing "public question" part of atmsk.ru forum. And it would be the best use for your energy I can imagine for now. :) -- ---- WBR, Michael Shigorin <mike@altlinux.ru> ------ Linux.Kiev http://www.linux.kiev.ua/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
