Scanning the Networks
If your system is connected to the Internet or if you have dial-up access to an Internet provider, you can connect to Usenet, a gigantic distributed online bulletin board system described at http://net.gurus.com/usenet , and also available on the Web at http://groups.google.com/ . Because many systems on Usenet are running on UNIX systems, Usenet has a great deal of discussion of UNIX issues and questions.
Your basic UNIX news
Usenet discussions are loosely organized into about 10,000 topic areas, or newsgroups. Table 26-1 lists some newsgroups that discuss UNIX topics.
