[nfbcs] Anyone using Focus 40 Blue with Linux

[David Andrews]

The standard mailman installation, which this list uses, doesn't have 
any search.  It can be added, but can be a bit tricky.  The easiest 
way to search is to do so externally with google or another search 
tool. Just add the list name as one of your search terms and you 
should get hits.
