   Well, you haven't yet made it clear (to me) what you are trying to do   
   (with linux and your activities), so it is hard to give useful   
   suggestions or advice.   
      
   I don't think the subject of this thread is as useful as you might think.   
      
   'general discussion about linux'?  who wants that?   
      
   'most popular newsgroup'?  IMO that would likely be aolm I mentioned   
   earlier, but a very great many 'discussions' about linux related things   
   take place in webforums instead of ng/s because of the waning popularity   
   of usenet in recent years.   
      
   It seems to me you need to discuss how to go about whatever it is you   
   want to do w/ linux, not the subject of this thread.
