It does not necessarily mean that I never heard of that site, but could
you explain in more detail who runs this site? Is it a company or a
community? Who pays for the infrastructure?

Quickly reading its frontpage it seems that is webforums only. That's
ugly.  They are not usable with mutt.

Second, There are ads. Who receives the money gained by our work?

Third. ROCKLinux is not for Joe User anyway. People that use ROCKLinux
are expected to have deeper knowledge about linux. And such people are
well able to read mailman archives, and also to post messages to a
mailing list.

It is a good thing that we have everything about ROCK in a central
place. There you have easy and swift access to everything ROCK related
you need.

So, to sum up, I'd say, no way. But that's my personal opinion.


Ciao
