13.3. Where to Turn for Help
As Linux is developed by members of the Internet community, the best place to get help is probably by posting a message to any of the following newsgroups:
- Miscellaneous postings not covered by other groups
- Networking-related issues under Linux
- Security-related issues under Linux
- Linux installation & system administration
- Everybody is entitled to their opinion :-p
For non Linux-specific topics, there are a variety of groups in the comp.* heirarchy that may suit your needs. Here are just a few of them:
- Cisco router/access-server line of products
- Miscellaneous web server questions
- General unix (not Linux-specific) questions
- The SMB protocol (WfW/95/NT-style file/print services)
There are also several resources on the Web that may be useful. Do a web search for "Linux", or visit any of the following:
- Linux Resources
- The Linux Documentation Project
- The RPM repository
- The Linux Software Map
- Linux Applications & Utilities Guide
- LinuxHardware.net: Hardware Driver Support
- Linux User Support Team
- The Linux v2 Information Headquarters
- The Samba Home Page (WfW/95/NT-style file/print services)
- The Apache Web Server
- The Squid HTTP Proxy Caching Daemon
There are a myriad of mailing lists that may prove helpful in providing answers to your questions as well. These can usually be found through a simple web search (for example, searching for ``linux raid mailing list'' might help you find mailing lists devoted to RAID issues under Linux). Here are some I recommend; to subscribe to any of these lists, simply send an e-mail message to the subscription address listed with the word "subscribe" in the body of your message:
- Red Hat Mailing Lists
Description of available Red Hat lists: http://www.redhat.com/
- GNOME Mailing Lists
Description of available GNOME lists: http://www.gnome.org/mailing-lists/index.shtml

Finally, you may be interested in checking out the following two sites, both of which are my personal "daily must read" favorites. SlashDot covers the latest technology news in general with a definite Linux slant, while FreshMeat provides an up-to-date listing of Open Source applications announcements.
- SlashDot: News For Nerds
- FreshMeat: Open Source Applications Announcements
