    I reckon there is enough interest and queries from old and noobie(such as myself) to have a Linux Forum. What do you think and who do I talk to?

    this is a great idea. i'd actually love to get past my old copy of corel linux, into something more advanced. also it cover Linux gaming too.

    you'd probably want a community forum first to see how it goes.

    see here for instructions on how to apply..

    Hmmm, more advanced than Corel Linux...

    How about the operating system from your kettle?

    There used to be a linux board here when this was still the ign boards. It got absorbed into technology because of the low volume of posts it got, but the boards seem much busier nowadays and I'd say it would see plenty of use.
