- I'm not sure why .bugs failed, but it is clear why .questions and .misc failed.
- What is the difference? Also what would be the point of posting to .questions,
- when the experts would probably just read .bugs and .misc.

- I'm planning on bying a new computer in a couple of weeks and am mainly reading
- this (all 1024 posts available on my reader) to help me decide what to by
- and whether to try to port linux or bsd386. It seems there are some very
- frequent topics that this news group could be split around. Forexample:
-
- .x11
- .dosemulation
- .graphics
- .install
-
- This is hardly intended to be a complete list, but merily the obvious ones
- that came to mind.
