|
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.
|
|
|
|
</P
|

|
|
Usually, you will not need to look directly in a Mailing List Archive.
|
|
<A
|
|
HREF="searchengines.html"
|
|
>Search engines</A
|
|
> like Google.com
|
|
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
|
|
>
|
|
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
|
|
><P

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

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.
