Now that there are a zillion comp.unix.* groups, I'm not sure
exactly where the monthly "Frequently Asked Questions"
posting should go. I used to post it only to comp.unix.questions
and comp.unix.wizards, ignoring some of the older 'specialized' groups
like comp.unix.ultrix.
Unless I hear some objections, starting next month I'm going to
post the FAQ list to all the comp.unix.* groups that aren't
devoted to specific platforms. Meaning I'll post it to:
comp.unix.admin Administering a Unix-based system.
comp.unix.internals Discussions on hacking UNIX internals.
comp.unix.misc Various topics that don't fit other groups.
comp.unix.programmer Q&A for people programming under Unix.
comp.unix.questions UNIX neophytes group.
comp.unix.shell Using and programming the Unix shell.
comp.unix.wizards (If it comes back)
comp.unix.esoterica (If it gets created)
(with followups to 'comp.unix.questions')
but not to:
comp.unix.aix IBM's version of UNIX.
comp.unix.aux The version of UNIX for Apple Macintosh II computers.
comp.unix.large UNIX on mainframes and in large networks.
comp.unix.msdos MS-DOS running under UNIX by whatever means.
comp.unix.sysv286 UNIX System V (not XENIX) on the '286.
comp.unix.sysv386 Versions of Unix (not Xenix) on Intel 80386-based boxes.
comp.unix.ultrix Discussions about DEC's Ultrix.
comp.unix.xenix.misc General discussions regarding XENIX (except SCO).
comp.unix.xenix.sco XENIX versions from the Santa Cruz Operation.
comp.unix.sysv386 already has its own FAQ posting, and I suspect others
might develop in the other groups. I will include something in
part one of the FAQ mentioning all the other groups in an attempt to
steer questions to the right spot.
How's that sound? If anyone has any suggestions about this, please let
me know. thanks.
