As you might expect, there are a very large number of Linux-related
Mailing Lists that enable developers and users to communicate and
collaborate on projects. These Lists cover every conceivable aspect of
Linux, from the technical arcana of kernel development to the relatively
unfocused discussion of issues at the newbie level. Subscribers to a
particular Mailing List are generally very knowledgeable in the List's
topic, and detailed and useful information is often retrievable. The
communications are publicly accessible through Internet search engines
and in the form of online Mailing List Archives. You will typically see
archived pages when you conduct a search using an Internet search
engine.

Usually, you will not need to look directly in a Mailing List Archive.

>Search engines</A

include these archives in their databases. If you can't find anything
with a search engine, it might be worthwhile to browse or search in an
appropriate Mailing List.
</P
><P
>&#13;
Also, not all Mailing Lists are associated with an online archive, but
this is increasingly the case. Similarly, not all archives have an
associated search engine.
</P

>&#13;
Initially, try locate the Mailing List Archive you are interested in by
typing keywords and "mailing list archive" in an Internet search engine.

You may also find Mailing List archives at the following locations:

This is not a complete listing of archives and you may find additional
sites with an Internet search engine. But, this should certainly get you
going.
