lookin for a linux forum

I a looking for a good general linux forum. I have searched aound some but have not been very happy with what I have found. Most of the ones that I have found have users that can't stay on a topic (i.e. Someone asks a linux question and someones replies with a comment on the weather) or it is a bunch of people that don't know how to use a search engine. ( question having the same brainpower level as "where can I find linux documentation" ) I guess what I am looking for is a linux forum with the quality of the devshed forums.

Oh and I almost forgot, 10, 000 messages about "how I hate microsoft" is equally irritating.

Any suggestions would greatly appreciated.

I use Red Hat's forums constantly as I am a complete linux dummie, but am trying to learn. Obviously I use it b/c I use Red Hat, but if you use Mandrake or Delbian or any of the other distro's, you can probably find fairly decent forums on the distro's webpage. Red Hat's is http://www.redhat.com
