   Asking for Linux advise on a Windows group might not be the smartest   
   thing. Yes, I know there are some very savoy Linux users hereabouts ....   
   but ....!   
      
   On your News server account, try filtering for Newsgroups with 'Linux'   
   in their names and see if there is one listed for the version of Linux   
   you use.   
      
   Else there is always alt.linux (not very active) or alt.os.linux (some   
   activity). Or even, as this thread is being cross-posted into   
   alt.os.linux.mint, that might be a good place to look if you use Mint.
