Non penso che un gruppo di news sia tanto meglio. Questo e' stato gia' discusso ampiamente su queste liste, e' una questione di gusto. Comunque, nulla vieta di fare un gateway mail->news. I don't think a newsgruoup is much better than a mailing list. This has already been discussed on these lists, it's just a mat- ter of personal preference. In any case, we can always setup a gateway. > While I am not willing to maintain mailing lists at the moment, I > can I can check here if people agrees to allocate resources (disk) > for an FTP server. Apart from computing resources, how much disk > space do you think we need to provide for this ? Un ftp server non e' solo questioe di disco. Comunque, 2.0.5 + 2.1.0 + X11 (per entrambe le versioni) + packages ~ 1.2 Gb qui. Fammi sapere quando sei pronto, che ti inserisco nel nameserver per it.freebsd.org. An ftp server is not a simple matter of disk. Anyway, 2.0.5 + 2.1.0 + X11 (both versions) + packages ~ 1.2 Gb on ftp.ibenet.it. Tell me when you're ready to go, I'll put your host in the DNS tables for it.freebsd.org.
