list identification:

[Linux for blind general discussion]

The only reason I had not already created a list was that I didn't want 
to be rude. I didn't feel it was my place to say, "Hey, lets move the 
list." And Red Hat has been kind to us for years. But I figure it can't 
hurt to create a list on iavit.org. If it doesn't work out, no harm is 
done. So I created linux at iavit.org. You can subscribe by sending a 
message to linux-subscribe at iavit.org. You can manage your subscription 
at https://lists.iavit.org/listinfo/linux. The archives are at 
http://lists.iavit.org/pipermail/linux/.

Before we go too far do you think I should have called it blinux? I 
figured since it is hosted by IAVIT, that would be redundant.
