Summary: Other forums/lists Unix & tools/storage

I was requested to summarize, otherwise I'll be violating the rules
of this list & there are many requests.    Here they are :

a) http://www.experts-exchange.com/
  Users are awarded with points for answering questions asked by other
users.
  This results in a competition for obtaining more points. Experts who
obtain a
  certain level of points each month are given free access to all features
of the
  site.        Subscription is : US$13/month, US$100/year

b) http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com

    Free version of the above (probably less responsive as it's not
    incentive-driven).  Probably not a mailing list - go to site to view
    replies

c)http://www.tek-tips.com/
   Covers various IT topics but does not appear to be a mailing list

d) hpux-admin@DutchWorks.nl  or
    http://www.dutchworks.nl/htbin/hpsysadmin
    Bob Smart & Dale contributed this forum.
    I've used this : it adopts a requirement to summarize
    like this list so won't clog your mailbox but is less
    than half as active as this list

e) www.backupcentral.com,
    for Veritas topics, contributed by Pedro

f) nothing specific came up for Linux but the first 3
    forums above should have some relevance
