2Depends on the question. You haven't really given us much to go on.– Seth ModCommented May 19, 2014 at 21:21

Can you say that in general I can link to one question if you want but need a red line I think not so difficult to depict that line– Mohammad Reza RezwaniCommented May 19, 2014 at 21:23

No, I can't really say for general without a more specific example. If you're running Ubuntu though the question should be on-topic here. I don't know anything about network engineering though.– Seth ModCommented May 19, 2014 at 21:24

this link is an easy question but I think this link is good. like to read your opinion and suggestion : askubuntu.com/questions/469241/domain-name-in-dhcp– Mohammad Reza RezwaniCommented May 19, 2014 at 21:34

1Brief aside... I think your example question would have gotten more upvotes if it had been worded/formatted more clearly. I tried to help with that ;)– RobotHumansCommented May 19, 2014 at 21:57

1networkengineering is still in beta and mostly focuses on Enterprise network solutions(i.e. Cisco and Juniper) and the configuration of said routers, switches, firewalls, etc. IMHO, we shouldn't be re-directing folks to a beta site when most of the Ubunutu specific question can be addressed here.– Kevin BowenCommented May 19, 2014 at 22:45

Short answer:
Yes, I like it on AskUbuntu.
TLDR answer:
If it deals with configuring a network service on an Ubuntu machine, it could easily be asked in either place.
That said, I like the idea of putting the question on AskUbuntu. Why is that the case?
It's simple.
We used to get questions like that much more often. It's refreshing to get a good question that might be helpful to Ubuntu users that are doing configuration
as opposed to
troubleshooting or incorrectly reporting bugs via AskUbuntu without first searching launchpad.
