Well - my guess is that a lot of us are 'multi-nix' and as I said, there
seems to be no lack of BSD mail lists anyway. If the drawing card is
that this is more about linux than about Phoenix, then yes, the lists
will probably be split. Realize that the Debian specific information is
of little interest to Redhat, Mandrake or Caldera users and given
Caldera's new licensing - it's looking more like BSD than linux.
