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.
