If you have any additions and/or comments on this list, please mail me at
the following address :
andrew@bing.apana.org.au
andrew@unico.com.au
(if you simply use and/or like the list, I'd also like to hear :)
I *cannot* guarantee that this list is completely up to date (or accurate)
100% of the time, so i'd *really* appreciate updates. I'm especially keen on
getting more *BSD groups on this list.
You can get the list from one of two places :
i) off of the USENET newsgroups aus.computers.linux, aus.computers and
comp.os.linux.announce
ii) by sending mail to linux-ug@bing.apana.org.au
(Make sure you have a valid "From:" header !)
