USENET is a worldwide electronic news and discussion forum with a heavy
|
||||
contingent of so-called ``newsgroups''---discussion areas devoted to a
|
||||
particular topic. Much of the development of Linux has been done over the
|
||||
waves of the Internet and USENET, and not suprisingly there are a number of
|
||||
USENET newsgroups available for discussions about Linux.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
The original Linux newsgroup was <tt>alt.os.linux</tt>, and was created to
|
||||
move some of the discussions about Linux out of <tt>comp.os.minix</tt> and
|
||||
the various mailing lists. Soon, the traffic on <tt>alt.os.linux</tt> grew to be
|
||||
large enough that a newsgroup in the <tt>comp</tt> hierarchy was warranted;
|
||||
a vote was taken in February of 1992, and <tt>comp.os.linux</tt> was created.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
<tt>comp.os.linux</tt> quickly became one of the most popular (and loudest)
|
||||
USENET groups; more popular than any other <tt>comp.os</tt> group. In
|
||||
December of 1992, a vote was taken to split the newsgroup in order to
|
||||
reduce traffic; only <tt>comp.os.linux.announce</tt> passed this vote.
|
||||
In July of 1993, the group was finally split into the new hierarchy.
|
||||
Almost 2000 people voted in the <tt>comp.os.linux</tt> reorganization,
|
||||
making it one of the largest USENET Call For Votes ever.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
If you do not have direct USENET access, but are able to send and
|
||||
receive electronic mail from the Internet, there are mail-to-news
|
||||
gateways available for each of the newsgroups below.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
<DL COMPACT><DT><tt>comp.os.linux.announce</tt>
|
||||
<DD>
|
||||
<tt>comp.os.linux.announce</tt> is a moderated newsgroup for announcements
|
||||
and important postings about the Linux system (such as bug reports,
|
||||
important patches to software, and so on). If you read any Linux newsgroups
|
||||
at all, read this one. Often, the important postings in this group are not
|
||||
crossposted to other groups. This group also contains many periodic postings
|
||||
about Linux, including many of the online documents described in the last
|
||||
section and listed in Appendix <A HREF="node225.html#appsourcesnum">A</A>.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
Postings to this newsgroup must be approved by the moderators, Matt Welsh
|
||||
and Lars Wirzenius. If you wish to submit and article to this group, in
|
||||
most cases you can simply post the article as you normally would (using
|
||||
<tt>Pnews</tt> or whatever posting software that you have available); the
|
||||
news software will automatically forward the article to the moderators
|
||||
for approval. However, if your news system is not set up correctly, you may
|
||||
need to mail the article directly; the submission address is
|
||||
<tt>linux-announce@tc.cornell.edu</tt>.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
The rest of the Linux newsgroups listed below are unmoderated.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
<DT><tt>comp.os.linux.help</tt>
|
||||
<DD>
|
||||
This is the most popular Linux newsgroup. It is for questions and answers
|
||||
about using, setting up, or otherwise running a Linux system. If you are
|
||||
having problems with Linux, you may post to this newsgroup, and hopefully
|
||||
receive a reply from someone who might be able to help. However, it is
|
||||
strongly suggested that you
|
||||
read all of the available Linux documentation before posting questions to
|
||||
this newsgroup.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
<DT><tt>comp.os.linux.admin</tt>
|
||||
<DD>
|
||||
This newsgroup is for questions and discussion about running a Linux
|
||||
system, most commonly in an active, multi-user environment. Any
|
||||
discussion about administrative issues of Linux (such as packaging
|
||||
software, making backups, handling users, and so on) is welcome here.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
<DT><tt>comp.os.linux.development</tt>
|
||||
<DD>
|
||||
This is a newsgroup for discussions about development of the Linux system.
|
||||
All issues related to kernel and system software development should be
|
||||
discussed here. For example, if you are writing a kernel driver and need
|
||||
help with certain aspects of the programming, this would be the place to
|
||||
ask. This newsgroup is also for discussions about the direction and goals
|
||||
behind the Linux development effort, as described (somewhat) in
|
||||
Section <A HREF="node22.html#secintrodesign">1.6</A>.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
It should be noted that this newsgroup is not (technically) for discussions
|
||||
about development of software <em>for</em> Linux, but rather for
|
||||
discussions of development <em>of</em> Linux. That is, issues dealing with
|
||||
applications programming under Linux should be discussed in another Linux
|
||||
newsgroup; <tt>comp.os.linux.development</tt> is about developing the Linux
|
||||
system itself, including the kernel, system libraries, and so on.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
<DT><tt>comp.os.linux.misc</tt>
|
||||
<DD>
|
||||
This newsgroup is for all discussion which doesn't quite fit into the other
|
||||
available Linux groups. In particular, advocacy wars (the incessant
|
||||
``Linux versus Windows NT'' thread, for example), should be waged here,
|
||||
as opposed to in the technical Linux groups. Any nontechnical or metadiscourse
|
||||
about the Linux system should remain in <tt>comp.os.linux.misc</tt>.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
</DL>
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
It should be noted that the newsgroup <tt>comp.os.linux</tt>, which was
|
||||
originally the only Linux group, has been superseded by the new hierarchy
|
||||
of groups. If you have access to <tt>comp.os.linux</tt>, but not to the newer
|
||||
Linux groups listed above, encourage your news administrator to create
|
||||
the new groups on your system.

||||
