Since the official Whitebox mailing lists are for the discussion of 
Whitebox and in particular any ways in which it diverges from RHEL, and 
are NOT for general help with regards to the use of the Whitebox EL 
operating system. I personally very much like the idea of a mailing list 
for general help.

Now, yes, RedHat has this, but..... at the moment, I'm not paying RedHat 
anything and those list are designed for paying customers. I haven't 
tried and am not sure if I can even get on a RedHat list to ask 
questions. Either way, RedHat does not 'invite' this use.

I would find a general help on "the use of" list to be most helpful. 
Also, we wind up with much less traffic, as we are only dealing with 
WBEL a much smaller distro. I see this as positive, where ever it 
resides. Personally, I would like to see it based from the WBEL site, or 
at least have one 'official' site listed from there. It would help 
guarantee the success of any new lists.
