[Fwd: Fedora Jargon: What's a kernel 'oops'?]

[Colin Charles]

Folks, it might not seem all that obvious that folks need to post
requests for more jargon busting to fedora-docs-list at redhat.com ?

I've told Mike & Tracy already, so that saves everyone else the trouble
of writing back! But maybe we should make it more friendly?

Regards
