A proposed CentOS mailing list FAQ

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Folks,

    I threatened to do this a few months ago.... Here's a first draft. I
was thinking of it as something that might get posted the beginning of
the month, or sent to someone who drops in with "it doesn't work!!!".

    PLEASE feel free, no, *please* rip, shred, tear, rend this, and help
me make it usable.

1. This mailing list is here for folks around the world to share knowledge
about CentOS
     and Linux. This is not a paid tech support organization - if you want
that, buy
     a RedHat subscription.

2. We are not here to do your job for you. If you think we should, perhaps
you
      should pay us. Before asking us, have you:
   a) read the documentation (RTFM)?
   b) checked the CentOS wiki for howtos and FAQs?
         i) <http://centos.org>, and click on "information"
         ii) <http://wiki.centos.org/>
   c) googled for documents on the Web?

3. Many of your problems have been discussed and solved. Feel free to ask
for a link
      to the solution, or the discussion.

4. When you post a question,
   a) mention the version of CentOS, and of any other software;
   b) give a full explanation of the problem, not merely "networking is
broke,
        how do I fix it", or something like that, and
   c) Include error messages if possible. Do *not* put pages of them - edit
        so that you give only a few lines of example, or only the relevant
        message lines, not, say, the entire dump of dmesg.
