From: danielcr on 16 Feb 2010 13:36 hi, this is the first time i'm writing to a usenet group. I've realized that slackware's group is a google's usenet group. I want to configure knode to use as a news client, but i can't find the information about google' servers. please give me a hand. thanks

Google done evil there, particularly fostering this notion that google run usenet, rather, they help wrecking the place. Access usenet via your ISP's news feed, look for something like news.your_isp_name.com on your ISP's setup page. Failing that, you might use a free or pay for usenet provider. I find that the free eternal-september.org service does a better job than my ISP's spotty news server access. Grant. -- http://bugs.id.au/

No idea what you mean about "slackware's group is a google's usenet group" My Usenet server has 3 slackware groups. alt.os.linux.slackware alt.pl.comp.os.linux.slackware free.it.linux.slackware I suggest you configure knode to use a Usenet server which carries the slackware group of your choice.
From: Daniel Castañeda Ruiz on 16 Feb 2010 14:25 yes, I'm sorry, I'm new to Usenet and just want to get knode working. I'm writing this from knode now! Thanks Grant, I made an account in eternal-september. Now I have to improve my english so I can use the tools :D �viva Slackware!

Hallo, danielcr, Du meintest am 16.02.10: > hi, this is the first time i'm writing to a usenet group. I've > realized that slackware's group is a google's usenet group. No. Usenet is independent from google. There are many newsservers which provide this newsgroup (and many other). Viele Gruesse Helmut "Ubuntu" - an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me". |
