Hey, I would like to announce that we have added more distribution specific forums to the site in order to provide more help, since in the end, that's all what this site is all about! Here are the new comers to the forums: Arch ( http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/arch-linux-help/ ) Xandros ( http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/xandros-help/ ) MEPIS ( http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/mepis-help/ ) Linspire ( http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linspire-help/ ) Edit: I can't beleive I missed that, but we also just added an Ubuntu section... And that's about it for now. Enjoy everyone! Mark. Last edited by Core Wizard; 04-30-2006 at 04:04 PM..

I definetly like the arch forum too hopefully it will get some more people to try it. Great distro for those who don't like source based ones. __________________ All right, brain.

Is this an oversight, or is there some special reason for having the Knoppix forum titled differently? __________________ oz New Members: * README *

You have to ask Jason that one...

I don't ever see him logged on anymore, but it should be easy enough to fix if you want the forums to look consistent.

Speaking of that... just one other thing. Not sure, maybe it's been done this way on purpose, but I noticed that all the old distribution forums have links directly to their respective distribution home pages, but none of the newly added forums do.

I don't mean to be a pain in the rear. I'm just pointing this out in case it was an oversight...
