Linux newbies posting to the mol list

[Ben Stanley]

Hi,

There have been a large number of linux newbies posting to the mol list 
requesting help with installing and/or setting up linux on their 
macintosh computers. These questions are off-topic on this list.

I have a theory about why this is happening. The web page at

http://lists.yellowdoglinux.com

lists Terra Soft Mailing lists, and Mac-on-Linux mailing lists. Most 
newbies would probably look at the first one, and think that they would 
be bothering Terrasoft, or have to pay for support, whereas this is 
actually where they should go. However, the Mac-on-Linux mailing list, 
which occurs directly below, seems to be just what they are after.

As the mol list is accessible from www.maconlinux.org, it might be 
better if the link from lists.yellowdoglinux.com were removed, made more 
difficult to find, or better explained, or said that it is not for help 
with installing or setting up Linux!

I'd appreciate it if TerraSoft could change the page at 
http://lists.yellowdoglinux.com as described above, so as to discourage 
off-topic newbie posts.
