or user applications from various sources. These sources may be

magazines, newsgroups, web pages, etc.</P

should -- nay, <EM

site contains descriptions of new Open Source applications and projects,

documentation, and other announcements of interest to the Linux

|
community.</P

|

through the <A

|
HREF="news:comp.os.linux.announce"
|
|
TARGET="_top"
|
|
>comp.os.linux.announce</A
|
|
> newsgroup. This newsgroup contains
|
|
postings of new applications, some kernel or application upgrades, web
|
|
pages, etc. available for Linux. It is a moderated newsgroup and
|
|
therefore has a high <SPAN

> ratio.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>Not all product upgrade announcements are made to comp.os.linux.announce,
|
|
however. Therefore, visiting the web pages or FTP sites for the
|
|
applications you are using is probably a very good idea as well.</P
