[Mailman-Users] Anywhere for novices?

[Jon Krause]

Pete,
   There may be a web-based tutoral out there, but I found the README and
INSTALL text files from the installation the best instruction set available.
Some software has very tech oriented instructions, assuming you are an
expirienced user, Mailman's instructions are some of the best I have used in
open source.

    If you are fairly comfortable in command line, and can get Mailman
downloaded and untarred, you will find the install very straight-forward.

Some tips:
Take your time.
Have both the README and INSTALL files printed or available for reference.
Have a browser open to Google for answers for things you may not understand.
Use this list when stumped.

Best of luck,
Jon

: Is there ANYWHERE this is in plain English - where it isn't written as
: if to be read by people with years of programming experience.  I need:
