Please read the linux-faq.ascii.gz first. Here is an extract of it.
As for the whereabouts of the newsgroups, asking UUNET would help.

Quote:>The Linux FAQ mentions only the comp.os.linux.* newsgroups, which are
>*not* the newsgroups I asked about.  I want to know about the mythical
>linux.* newsgroups, which supposedly are gatewayed with the various
>linux mailing lists.  The users who are asking us to carry these
>newsgroups on our NNTP server claim they exist, but I have not been
>able to verify this.
>So, I repeat my question: do these newsgroups exist?
