This page describes the unix-list mailing list.

unix-list@princeton.edu is a general discussion mailing list. We use it to announce events, discuss course of action for the club, schedule unix-tables, and more. In particular, it is also used as a sort of forum for asking and answering questions regarding alternative operating systems.
