Saner heads might consider mirroring linux mailling list info into the
comp.os.linux.* hierarchy.  And you also have to consider that some
boneheads have started an alt.uu.comp.os.linux.* hierarchy.  And in a
week or two, John Palmer will probably create free.comp.os.linux.*

As the sources of information for linux become more widely scattered and
disconnected, I am glad that I picked an OS, NetBSD, that has an actual
center for disseminating sources, binaries, and info.
