Okay, then I take back all what I said before.
Still what I was hoping to see was descriptions of new features in
kernels, and patches, it is what I miss most.
As of linux-kernel mailing list, you could ask me for them I think I have
a backup of them for time twice as long as www.linuxhq.com ever existed ..
available via T3. I also have copy of several other linux and XFree86
related mailings list.
I probably would not give you account, it is just matter of rules which
every admin (should) follow. but I do can put them on anonymous ftp site.
I think it is around 200mb or so worth stuff. Personally I don't see diff
in what you could not do from anynomous ftp site that you would need
shell.

I could put them on web as searchable archie.. but 1) did not have time to
do that 2) there are plenty of other archies which already do that
3) it is not what the linuxhq was most famus from.

I never said I think it was anything bad, I just mentioned it before as
possible one of reasons fact that the www.linuxhq.com ceased to exist...
but as I said before I take it all back.
And for end, why www.linuxhq.com not www.linuxhq.org ?
