Given Mickey$hafts intention to borg/absorb Yahoo, putting the group on googlegroups (runs Linux) makes sense.<br><br>But then again, putting a group on Yahoo that deals with open source software and recycled computers sounds amusingly ironic.<br>

for the Community (Linux on donated PCs) volunteer group. I'm used to<br>
majordomo type listserv's, but it seems the Yahoo Groups are easy to set<br>
up and can even be restricted/invitation only.<br>

Any thoughts from this group on perils or concerns with commercial<br>
approaches like Yahoo or Google Groups?<br>
