lordshipmayhemI'm on the Toronto Linux Users' Group mailing list. To say this is very active is putting it mildly. They deal with a lot of highly-technical topics, some of which are quite arcane. To separate out TLUG from the rest of my incoming e-mails, all mail with TLUG in the header goes to another folder.
The topics are quite informative, and go off-topic quite rarely. They go out of their way to help each other, and have helped me on more than one occasion. They are quite serious and earnest, although they do have a sense of humour at times.
For the past 36 hours, aforementioned folder has received somewhere north of 70 e-mails as TLUGgers try to help walk one of us through the installation of one particularly important application. He's using Fedora Core 5. Apparently there isn't a proper RPM package for this distribution, so he's having to use YUM to grab the necessary support files (Chris will understand this...).
This all-fired ultra-important application? The native Linux version of Starcraft.
Hey, greybeard code crunchers like to play too, on occasion.
