This IMHO is a really good idea.  I'm on a local Linux User's Group list
that gets all kinds of questions, from things like "Can somebody help me
set up X to work with my Yankee Doodle video card" to "Is there a way to
configure PAM to allow logins based on authentication against a [NT] domain
id?"  I guess I would call the new list -users or some such.  Regardless,
I think such a list is a great idea; people are all too used to inserting a
CD/floppy into the drive, running setup.exe (happens automatically in some
cases) and just clicking around until they get something they think might
work for them.
