Hi all.
As many of you may have noticed, there's a bit of lag with the mailing
lists every so often. This is just a test message for diagnostic
purposes. Sorry for the spam.

Hi all.
I'm thinking about writing a "New User's Guide to Linux" (to be released

Hi all.
I hate to have to do this, but it seems like it's time for the "friendly
reminder" again.
While there are only two posting guidelines for the LinuxChix lists ( 1.
Be Friendly, 2. Be Helpful ), there are some more general guidelines
that should be followed when posting to a mailing list.
Another cross-posting since this is relevant to all three lists...again,
apologies to folks who get this multiple times.

Available in both regular and women's styles, and a full range of

When I first set up these lists, I set the configuration so that any
su*bscription or un*su*bscription request that was sent to the actual

That was all well and good.

Hi all.
As some of you know, LinuxChix is one of the two Open Source-related
projects I coordinate. The other is the Open Source Writers Group.
I've been working on a new OSWG website, and it has just recently gone
into the beta testing phase.
I would appreciate it if the folks on these lists

Well, we're still not entirely sure what happened to break the lists,

Here's the deal:
The LinuxChix lists are now managed by a system called "mailman" instead
of majordomo. They are also hosted on a new system. All of this is
good. On the other hand, some stuff has changed.
