ANN: New newsgroup: comp.sys.raspberry-pi

Apr 07, 2013 3 Replies

For any who are interested a new Usenet newsgroup has been set up focussing on Raspberry Pi computers.



For info on the machine see

The new Usenet group went live on 2 April 2013 and is named



comp.sys.raspberry-pi



The group is already widely carried but if your Usenet provider does not make it available to you you may want to ask them to add it. Those that have been asked seem to have started supporting the new group very quickly.



For any whose provider is slow to add the new group there are at least three free services that can be used to access it: eternal- september.org, Google Groups, and aioe.org. All three carry the group. Eternal September has the messages from day one. The other two started supporting it a day or so later.



This announcement is being sent to various newsgroups where the RPi has previously been discussed but feel free to tell others who might be interested if they don't already know.

And news.individual.net for peanuts more than free and very reliable.

Just clicking news:comp.sys.raspberry-pi will add it it with some news readers.

I asked my provider (Demon) to add the newsgroup and it is now there. I was interested to learn that there is now an x86 emulator available that will run (some) DOS programs.
