I suspect the answer to your question is, "No".  ALE is a remarkable
list: it's populated by people who, in general, run Linux by choice,
and are interested and clueful about the platform.  If someone offers
an opinion on the ALE list, there is IME about a 90% chance that
they really know what they are talking about.  Few fora devoted to
"popular" technologies are going to have such a favorable S/N ratio.

One promising site is stackoverflow.com, which is a reputation-
driven technical Q&A site founded by Joel Spolsky of joelonsoftware.com.
I've browsed around a bit there, and the quality of discourse
seems relatively high. YMMV.
