Topical mailing list for topics regarding the CentOS enterprise Linux
distribution.  At first glance that seems pretty straight forward and
simple to grasp.  Second and third glances as well.

Perhaps you'd like to review the Guidelines for CentOS Mailing Lists page
located at http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=16 -
specifically the reference on that page that describes this mailing
list.

Alternatively there are google, yahoo, baidu and many other search
engines to locate a more appropriate list for your postings in the
future.

Even easier... Stay on topic.
