|
|
|
|
<P> A monthly magazine, called <EM>Linux Journal</EM>, was launched over
|
|
four years ago. It includes articles intended for almost all skill
|
|
levels, and is intended to be helpful to all Linux users.
|
|
One-year subscriptions are $22 in the U.S., $27
|
|
in Canada and Mexico, and $32 elsewhere, payable in US
|
|
currency. Subscription inquiries can be sent via email to
|
|
subs@ssc.com, or faxed to +1-206-782-7191, or phoned to
|
|
+1-206-782-7733, or mailed to Linux Journal, PO Box 85867,
|
|
Seattle, WA 98145-1867 USA. SSC has a PGP public key available
|
|
for encrypting your mail to protect your credit card number;
|
|
finger info@ssc.com to get the key.
|
|
<P>There are several Usenet newsgroups for Linux
|
|
discussion, and also several mailing lists. See the Linux FAQ
|
|
for more information about the mailing lists (you should be able
|
|
to find the FAQ either in the newsgroup or on the FTP sites).
|
|
<P>The newsgroup
|
|
<A HREF="news:comp.os.linux.announce">news:comp.os.linux.announce</A> is a moderated newsgroup
|
|
for announcements about Linux (new programs, bug fixes, etc).
|
|
<P>The newsgroup
|
|
<A HREF="news:comp.os.linux.answers">news:comp.os.linux.answers</A> is a moderated newsgroup to
|
|
which the Linux FAQ, HOWTO documents, and other documentation
|
|
postings are made.
|
|
<P>The newsgroup
|
|
<A HREF="news:comp.os.linux.admin">news:comp.os.linux.admin</A> is an unmoderated newsgroup for
|
|
discussion of administration of Linux systems.
|
|
<P>The newsgroup
|
|
<A HREF="news:comp.os.linux.development.system">news:comp.os.linux.development.system</A> is an unmoderated newsgroup
|
|
specifically for discussion of Linux <B>kernel</B> development. The
|
|
only application development questions that should be discussed here
|
|
are those that are intimately associated with the kernel. All other
|
|
development questions are probably generic Unix development questions
|
|
and should be directed to a comp.unix group instead, unless
|
|
they are very Linux-specific applications questions, in which
|
|
case they should be directed at comp.os.linux.development.apps.
|
|
<P>The newsgroup
|
|
<A HREF="news:comp.os.linux.development.apps">news:comp.os.linux.development.apps</A> is an unmoderated
|
|
newsgroup specifically for discussion of Linux-related
|
|
applications development. It is not for discussion of where to
|
|
get applications for Linux, nor a discussion forum for those
|
|
who would like to see applications for Linux.
|
|
<P>The newsgroup
|
|
<A HREF="news:comp.os.linux.hardware">news:comp.os.linux.hardware</A> is for Linux-specific
|
|
hardware questions.
|
|
<P>The newsgroup
|
|
<A HREF="news:comp.os.linux.networking">news:comp.os.linux.networking</A> is for Linux-specific
|
|
networking development and setup questions.
|
|
<P>The newsgroup
|
|
<A HREF="news:comp.os.linux.x">news:comp.os.linux.x</A> is for Linux-specific X Windows
|
|
questions.
|
|
<P>The newsgroup
|
|
<A HREF="news:comp.os.linux.misc">news:comp.os.linux.misc</A> is the replacement for comp.os.linux,
|
|
and is meant for any discussion that doesn't belong elsewhere.
|
|
<P>In general, <B>do not</B> crosspost between the Linux newsgroups.
|
|
The <B>only</B> crossposting that is appropriate is an occasional posting
|
|
between one unmoderated group and
|
|
<A HREF="news:comp.os.linux.announce">news:comp.os.linux.announce</A>.
|
|
The whole point of splitting the old comp.os.linux group into many groups
|
|
is to reduce traffic in each group. Those that do not follow this rule
|
|
will be flamed without mercy...
