Hi All, I don't know why S.u.S.E doesn't have any newsgroup for their product while other linux distributor has theirs?
Ask SuSE. Well SuSE , why don't you? :-)
Anyway, I suggest
there should be newsgroups so we don't have to browse through 5-6 hundred email to find out answers to our problem.
Make that 5-6 thousand.
I think its not me, but most of you out there feel the same way. So, we all need to send our feedback to S.u.S.E Inc. our need as customers.
...and HOW would a NEWSGROUP be easier to find what you're looking for with all the extra trash/noise that would undoubtedly exist? How is that better than a mailing list?
A newsgroup isn't always better than a mailing list. But there are many people who would ask a question / get involved in a newsgroup, who wouldn't do so with a mailing list. Mailing lists are high volume, you have to subscribe to them & so, they are not viable to everyone. - You can't just pop into a mailing list every once & a while like you would with usenet. It would be great to have a mailing list as well as a newgroup, for some, one is better than the other. Search for "microsoft" on your usenet server, MS has more newsgroups than you can count on your fingers & toes. bye. PS - I still think an alt.os.linux.suse is a good idea. All the other main distributions seem to have a usenet group of some sort.
