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.
