I did a search on discussion groups
who's names contained "linux". There
were many. More than 200 I think (too
many to count). Why so many, and which
should I use if I have questions on
configuring my system (getting
everything to work - I'm new to Linux).

I think you'll find that the Linux newsgroups have a fairly high volume
of message traffic. Many groups, each devoted to specific topics, were
created to help split the traffic into more easily managed pieces.

The comp.os.linux.* newsgroups are the "main" ones.

This newsgroup is a very good one for general setup/install questions,
