10.3.6. News services
Running a Usenet server
involves a lot of expertise and fine-tuning, so refer to the
INN homepage for
more information.
There are a couple of interesting newsgroups in the
comp.* hierarchy, which can be accessed using a variety of
text and graphical clients. A lot of mail clients support newsgroup
browsing as well, check your program or see your local Open Source
software mirror for text clients such as tin, slrnn and mutt, or download Mozilla or one of a number of other
graphical clients.
Deja.com keeps a
searchable archive of all newsgroups, powered by Google. This is a
very powerful instrument for getting help: chances are very high
that somebody has encountered your problem, found a solution and
posted it in one of the newsgroups.
