Actually, I'd perfer a linux oriented M/L similar to this one. One that is
germaine to my choosen distro 8-). If you notice, I placed an "OT" in front
of m the subject line, because I think to a degree it is. The thing is, many of us 
are or want to use Linux to either run CoCo emulators or assists in CoCo 
developement. At least that's how I took it. In that case, I don't see a problem
with folks using this list for their questions.

My problem with ICRs is that too often I sign on and am the only one there,
or if there are folks there, it is too much like the old CB days when your
"breaker breaker" request was ingnored or you were told to shutup because
other converstaions were already in progress. Just my 2 cents 8-)
