Your question parses, but it is not clear what specific thing you have in mind that would seperate an IT-oriented list from a non-IT oriented list. Can you either give an example question or two, or can you say why freebsd-questions is *not* IT-oriented? Or does your question mean you looking for a list whose members are mostly sysadmins and network managers, rather than end-users? FreeBSD doesn't really make much distinction between an end-user and a sysadmin [1], but you might find freebsd-stable or freebsd-isp to come closer to what you are looking for. -- -Chuck [1]: Which can be benefit sometimes, or it can be a problem, especially for novice users, but that's another topic.
