    New post section: OS

    Duno, just taught I'd say this: Why not add a new post section about OS? like Windows, Linux, Mac, etc etc etc...

    I'd be interested, any opinions?

    True, but why not classify sections in it?

    I don't think there's enough activity to justify it.

    Then we'd have to rename General PC to "Windows Dilemmas".

    Since General PC is a more generic term, it can encompass the occasional "other" problem...

    Thats not what I meant... I just meant to have a new / classified / whatever section containing stuff about Windows, Linux ->`Redhat, Debian, etc... Dos, you know... Operating systems!

    Ah well, if the idea seems to suck than don't mind me... I'm juss postin an idea!

    This forum is more aimed at programming, so people probably wont come here with operating system issues. That's why there's just a generalized PC forum...to satisfy the few that DO come here with those problems.
    My evil laugh has a squeak in it.

    You can subdivide stuff till the end of time. It's probably better just to let the general pc forum handle any OS questions. If you have an OS forum then people would go on to say well why not subdivide that forum into subforums like Unix, Win, OSX. Then people will want more subsections Win98 Win2000 WinXP, Mandrake, RedHat, Solaris OS9, OSX Cheetah10.0, Puma 10.0, Jagur 10.2, Panther 10.3. It would be maddness. Maddness i say!
