<BR>



<P>USENET is a collection of discussion groups (called <I>newsgroups</I>) that is available to Internet users. There are over 9,000 newsgroups with over 100MB of traffic posted every single day. Of all of these newsgroups (which cover every conceivable topic), several are dedicated to Linux.



<BR>



<P>You can access USENET newsgroups through special software called a <I>newsreader</I> if you have access to a site that downloads the newsgroups on a regular basis. Alternatively, most online services such as CompuServe, America Online, and Delphi also offer access to USENET. Some BBSs also provide limited access to newsgroups.



<BR>



<P>USENET newsgroups fall into three categories: primary newsgroups, which are readily available to all USENET users; local newsgroups with a limited distribution; and alternate newsgroups that may not be handled by all news servers. The primary newsgroups of interest to Linux users are

</TABLE><P>These newsgroups should be available at all USENET sites unless the system administrator filters them out for some reason.



<BR>



<P>The other newsgroups tend to change frequently, primarily because they are either regional or populated with highly opinionated users who may lose interest after a while. The .alt (alternate) newsgroups are particularly bad for this. Only one .alt newsgroups was in operation when this book was written:



<BR>



<P>alt.uu.comp.os.linux.questions



<BR>



<P>There are also regional newsgroups that usually are not widely distributed, or that have specific issues which may be in a language other than English. Some sample regional newsgroups carried by USENET are:

</UL>



<P>If you do have access to USENET newsgroups, it is advisable to regularly scan the newsgroup additions and deletions to check for new Linux newsgroups or existing groups that have folded. Most online services that provide access to USENET maintain lists of all active newsgroups that can be searched quickly.



<BR>



<P>The traffic on most of these Linux newsgroups deals with problems and issues people have when installing, configuring, or using the operating system. Usually, a lot of valuable information is passing through the newsgroups, so check them regularly. The most interesting messages that deal with a specific subject (called <I>threads</I>) are collected and stored for access through an FTP site.<A NAME="I2"></A>
