Anyone know a good newsgroup for Linux

[Dawn Minnis]

Hi

I know you're not supposed to post OS specific questions on the newsgroup so
does anyone know a good newsgroup - where there are actually people talking
to eachother and not full of spam - where I can get advice on developing C
for a command line driven interface in Linux?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Kind regards
Dawn

Try comp.os.linux.d evelopment.apps , that would seem to be the best fit.
If you want a wider scope also have a look at comp.unix.progr ammer.

Try comp.os.linux.d evelopment.apps
or comp.os.linux.d evelopment.syst em

Since from your email address you're in the UK, you could look at
<news:uk.comp.o s.linux>. While a lot of the discussion there is about
non-programming stuff (installing, using etc.) there are a number of
knowledgable Linux programmers there and it is relatively low-traffic
(compared to comp.lang.c for instance).

(Non-UK people could also look at that newsgroup, but it is less likely
to be on non-UK servers, I know that it is on the BTInternet one...)

If you were using Netscape I could give you specific instructions
on how to search for a newsgroup that your ISP carries. I suggest
you get rid of Outhouse Excess as soon as possible. It does some
evil things (but not as evil as google groups !!). Mozilla or
Thunderbird would be suitable, from mozilla.org (and free).

As long as you stick to portable standard C you can ask away here.
Very little, if anything, in most programs needs to be system
specific. If you get in the habit of using standard C you will
rarely have porting problems.

Please also quickly get out of the Outhouse Excess encouraged habit
of top-posting. Your answer belongs after, or possibly intermixed
with, the material you are quoting, after suitable snipping of
non-germane material.

Out of perversity I looked, and att does carry it (and 600 odd
other in the uk group) here in left-pondia.
