-
- Becuase there is a group comp.windows.x.i386unix that allready does
- this. What does configuring Xfree86 (which is the same on BSD, Linux,
- and SysV) have to do with the Linux operating system?

-
- TCP is still very beta. Technical questions about TCP implementation
- in the kernel should probablly be directed to the mail list. When TCP
- is stable, comp.protocols.tcp-ip can answer these questions.

-
- The only reason it will get worse is if people continue to ask
- questions like your next one in comp.os.linux.

- comp.sys.ibm.ps.hardware where it belongs.
