The following is a list of the local PSU newsgroups and what they are
intended for.
If you feel there should be another local newsgroup send a proposal
to 'usenet@ee.pdx.edu'.
- `psu.msgs'
- `psu.msgs' is primarily meant to carry system announcements
(downtime, updates, etc) and other official information
distribution (seminars, class information, etc).
Everything posted here should be of general interest to the users in
the EE and CS departments and the Campus Computer Center.
Discussions of anything posted here should be posted to `psu.general'
or `psu.flame' (see below).
Inappropriate postings here may result in punitive measures.
(Note: The
msgs command accesses the identical messages as
the newsgroup `psu.msgs')
- `psu.general'
-
- `psu.forsale'
-
- `psu.flame'
- These newsgroups are for general use by anybody at PSU.
`psu.general' is for discussions, etc. of issues about PSU,
`psu.forsale' is for for sale and want ads.
The latter is actually a newsgroup from Penn. State which
somehow got here; nevertheless, feel free to use it for
all your flaming needs.
- `psu.systems'
-
- `psu.systems.group'
- These newsgroups are for CS Systems Related issues.
The former group is for questions and discussions about how

among Sysgroup.
