If you want french-speaking equivalent of freebsd-* lists, I don't think there is enough interest/people for that (I may be wrong of course but if fr.comp.os.bsd is an indication I'm right). In fact I want to be wrong If you want a mailing-list exploder in France for french people or even most of european users, I may be able to set this up. I have a well-connected machine with CPU power and disk to put a majordomo on. It is an HP with a 2 MBps line on RENATER (French Academic Network). RENATER has a 4 Mbps (probably a little more in a few weeks/months) with the US albeit pretty overloaded. More on this later. Interested ? We have already at least two FTP mirrors in France for ftp.freebsd.org (ftp.ibp.fr and ftp.univ-lyon1.fr, I'll have to check the second). -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.frmug.fr.net FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 2.2-CURRENT #7: Mon Nov 6 21:08:06 MET 1995
