6.2.1 Red Hat Mailing Lists

Red Hat Mailing Lists If you can't find help for your problem on line and you have WWW access, you should see http://www.redhat.com/support/mailing-lists/. Here you can search the archives of the redhat-list. Many questions have already been answered there.

The subscription address for each of our lists is:

redhat-list-request@redhat.com redhat-digest-request@redhat.com redhat-announce-list-request@redhat.com redhat-devel-list-request@redhat.com rpm-list-request@redhat.com axp-list-request@redhat.com sparc-list-request@redhat.com

To subscribe, send mail to the address of the list you want to subscribe to with subscribe in the Subject: line.

To unsubscribe, send mail to the address of the list you want to unsubscribe from with unsubscribe in the Subject: line.

Then to send mail to the list, you just send it to the address above without the -request in the name. The only exception to this is the redhat-digest which is only a digest version the redhat-list. In that case the address is redhat-list@redhat.com.

6.2.2 USENET Newsgroups

USENET Newsgroups Another good source of help is the comp.os.linux hierarchy on USENET. If you are familiar with news, you should check it out.
