Now everybody is welcome to join the forum. The main (but not the
only) language will be Hebrew, although some of you cannot write
Hebrew under your browser (sorry, and you may blame me for that :-(
). The preference of Hebrew was done in order to serve newbies who
may have difficulties in using English, and in order to prevent a
competition against this list (Linux-IL). Moreover, I see this forum
as a complement and a promotion for Linux-IL, and its beginning
message even contains the URL of Linux-IL.
