I _hate_ "me too"-ing, but since you ask for a consensus... lets keep _all_ 
tech questions off the faq. If there a specific need we could have a page 
to deal with tech issues that have not been covered elsewhere, or are of a 
specific nature, and would be 
useful to have handy (the Yamaha soundcards, SiS VGA cards come to mind). 
While this has been documented, because of the large number of users who 
have these configurations it might make sense to add this and related info 
to 
the site. As for other technical questions of a more general nature I think 
we should let IRC/ICQ/mailing lists fix it...

If there are any Madras-specific Linux resources we could mention them, but 
afaik, none exist (how abt 'Lateral' for training?, or would that 
constitute bias?)

Just my 1.8 cents (I'm stingy)

Computers must work. People should think.
