7.2 Help from the Internet Community

7.2.1 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 addresses for our lists follow this format:

<list-name>-request@redhat.com

Simply replace <list-name> with one of the following:

apollo-listapplixware-list axp-list blinux-list cde-list gnome-announce gtk-list hurricane-list linux-alert linux-security m68k-list pam-list redhat-announce-list redhat-devel-list redhat-install-list redhat-list redhat-ppp-list rpm-list sound-list sparc-list

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.

7.2.2 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.

7.2.2.1 Red Hat-Specific Newsgroups

Red Hat Software currently hosts a number of newgroups specifically for users of our software. You can either read these groups directly from news.redhat.com, or ask your news admin to add the redhat.* hierarchy to their news server.
