Ok. I hereby declare myself the "owner" or manager of the linux.*
hierachy.

I have not gotten any response from David regarding feeding the kernel
list etc without addresses into the linux.dev.kernel etc groups. I will
start doing that on Thursday if I have not heard from David till then.

Following this post is a list of the current linux.* hierachy. This
evidently needs cleaning up but we are in the beginning stages. Feeds
available on request (some feeds have already been arranged). Advice
regarding sending a checkgroups out to fix up the hierachy needed.

I have added the
linux.redhat.*
linux.debian.*

newsgroups which gate the redhat and debian mailing lists into usenet (one
way..)

All newsgroups are hereby declared unmoderated.

*.announce
*.changes
are to be read-only.

Future discussions regarding these matters should take place on either

linux.admin.news

or on

linux-admin-news@list.fuller.edu

(send a message with "subscribe" to linux-admin-news-request@list.fuller.edu)
