I should stick in a plug here for "mailman", which is a Gnu mailing list
manager with Very Cool Features.  Using it, maintaining the list is
greatly simplified (one good reason to use it) AND users have a web
interface for things like removal from the list (another good reason to
use it) AND it maintains a web-accessible threaded mailing list archive
automatically (a really GOOD reason to use it).  We've started using it
recently in physics and I really like it.

P.S. -- Doug, I did try booting my box with the noapic option and
although it did no apparent harm, neither did it get the network card to
suddenly load correctly.  I'm going to go into the case -- some of the
stuff in the kernel documentation on ioapic suggests that card order is
pretty critical in the new kernels and perhaps I'm doing something
boneheaded (now) that worked fine with 2.0.x.  I'm going to try a 2.3
kernel when I get one to compile -- my first effort to compile one
failed and I won't have time to try again until after finals.
