What is a good source of linux news on the USENET. I like linux.org, but it
seems they don't keep the site updated daily.

Pardon me, but I don't see a "linux.org" in _my_ newsgroup list. Certainly,
that name ("linux.org") violates USENET naming standards, and might be the
reason that I can't see it.

For USENET news, any of the comp.os.linux newsgroups are good. My list
includes
comp.os.linux.admin
.development.apps
.development.system
.hardware
.misc
.networking
.portable
.questions
.security
.setup
.x

I take that back; there seems to be a large number of linux.* newsgroups
available, although linux.org is nonexistant.

I don't know about Linux news on Usenet, but I like NewsForge

http://www.freshmeat.net/ (for software and the discussion thereto related
very very very very good.)

Of course, that has nothing to do with USENET, as the other people here have
explained. ;)
