  I, personally, would encourage you and others to continue this and similar
discussions here, on this list.  Since this list doesn't have an official
charter, it is technical impossible to rule anything "off-topic", but I like
to think of this list as being "for GNHLUG members", and not just "for Linux
discussions".

  For one, if you want to get into technicalities, Linux is technically just
the kernel, which makes for some mighty obscure discussions.

  More importantly, that is not, AFAIK, what this user group has ever been
about.  Linux has become the de facto flagship for the Open Source/Free
Software fleet.  It may get the most attention, but it is far from the only
or even most important member.  Things such as Apache, GCC, Perl, Python,
Mozilla, GNOME, KDE, etc, etc, etc, are as much as part of Linux as Linux
is.

  I believe barring discussions about Apache from this forum does everyone
here a disservice.

  If anyone disagrees, please speak up.
