6.2 Help from the Internet Community

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.
