@Tshepang, the explination is there are two different types of questions related to *nix platforms, general usage and system administration. Cross-Posting is discouraged, but a question that is appropriate for both can be posted on either (and is likely to get an adequate response). The Unix & Linux site is more closely related to SuperUser anyway.
@John, what's your specific suggestion? Dropping the "and IT pros" altogether? I agree with what you're trying to say, but simplifying it to just "system administrators" seems a bit narrow. Desktop support (help desk) should be welcome here, similarly DBAs, network engineers, etc.
I agree with Robert. If I was to run a free service from my home in a manor completely consistent with Enterprise best-practices, I would expect that to belong on SF. Similarly if I was to run a completely unprofessional network consisting of a $20 SOHO router and 3 Win98 machines, asking 'Why FireFox 3.6 Wont Install" I would expect that to be Off-Topic.
@ChrisF, it's still a question from an "End User's point of view", so it definitely belongs on SU. Questions on SF should always come from a SysAdmin's point of view.
Please try to use proper English when contributing to this site. It's highly unprofessional to use abbreviations like "pls" and "qns", and this site is for professionals only (see the FAQ)
