comp.os.linux.announce


  Announcements important to the Linux community. (Moderated)

  A moderated newsgroup for Linux announcements and source 
  patches. The purpose of this group was to get all of the 
  ``important'' Linux information out of the regular newsgroup and 
  into a place where all Linux users could see the important 
  announcements without having to wade through a jungle of other 
  postings. So far, this group has been very successful.
