Mailing lists

The CRUX mailing lists are intended for people using CRUX to help each other, share information, suggest improvements and report bugs.
A list of available lists can be found on the listinfo page.

Subscribe/Unsubscribe

To subscribe/unsubscribe please visit the mailing list web page. To send a message to the mailing list, use the matching address for the list, e.g. crux(a)lists.crux.nu. NOTE! You have to subscribe to the list to be able to post messages to it.

List Archives

To view previously sent messages take a look at the list archive:

• Mailing list archive (2006 - today) (lists.crux.nu)
• Old mailing list archive (2001 - 2006) (marc.info)

You may also find the IRC channels helpful.

Usage guidelines

Please take the time to read this short section to make the mailing list more pleasant for everyone.

General

• Avoid offtopic postings
• Avoid HTML postings; instead, send messages as plain text
• To start a new topic on the mailing list, don't select an existing message in your client and hit "reply", since this will break the threading
• When replying to a message, don't CC the original poster; he or she is subscribed to the mailing list anyway
• Make sure your signature (if you use one) is delimited by the character sequence "-- " (without the quotes, including one trailing space)

Quoting

• Avoid top posting (See http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html)
• Quote only the relevant parts you're replying to (See https://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote2.html#ss2.1)
• Make sure the attribution line doesn't contain the e-mail address of the original poster; this is a simple anti-spam measure

Problem reporting

Try to give a clear and detailed description of your problem. Investigate (using google) who else had this problem, to give a better background. Read http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html for general hints on how to report issues.
