Hello from new geek on CentOS !
Filozof71
I am a software engineer and systems architect for over ten years. I have
been always occasionally playing with some Unix systems (SCO, HP-UX, AIX,
Solaris, Debian, RedHat) mainly when installing, configuring and tuning
databases and application servers.
Now I have installed CentOS 5.4 on the Virtual Box (Winodows XP host) and I
would like to get more deep into it. My goal is to have test/developer
environments for enterprise level applications on my laptop :-)
I have already some successes on it ( LVM configured, DB2, WebSphere, Axis2,
Tuxedo and SALT sample application are already running) but I steel need
more experience and knowledge.
I am writing now just to say hello, and ask about other usenet groups
deticated to RedHat like linux.redhat.* of which the purpose is not clear
for me, ex. linux.redhat.ppp. I would appreciate if anybody could say me
what kind of posts I can post to these groups.

Red Hat is one of hundreds of distributions of Linux. You don't need
to use a Red Hat specific news group (there are no officially
sanctioned Red Hat groups in 'comp.os.linux.*' but also there are no
Debian, Mandriva, SUSE, Slackware or Unbuntu groups. Thus, all of the
groups depend on what the operator of your news server decided to
carry. Do they carry the 15 "alt.pl.comp.os.linux.*" groups?
>like linux.redhat.* of which the purpose is not clear for me
Those started out as mirrors of mailing lists - and went down hill
from there. There are about 325 groups in the 'linux.*' hierarchy,
most with little traffic.
>ex. linux.redhat.ppp.
That's the Red Hat ppp mailing list - a better group would be the
main-line comp.protocols.ppp
comp.protocols.ppp Discussion of the Internet Point to Point Protocol.
which is also low traffic. The last post I see in linux.redhat.ppp
that was not spam was back in October 2007.

You can post what you wish - very very few people will see it. Look
at each group, and look at the last 100 posts - or the last two months
of articles. What are people posting about? That's a clue.

There isn't much activity in this group, the comp.os.linux.xxx groups are
a better place to ask questions. Specifically comp.os.linux.misc,
comp.os.linux.development.system and comp.os.development.apps
