<para
>For beginners it is especially recommended to read these articles at least partially: informed users have strong advantages in news groups. There are some more-specialized news groups where <acronym
>FAQ</acronym
>s and introductory <glossterm
>articles</glossterm
> are posted frequently, &eg; the <glossterm
>newsgroup</glossterm
> de.comp.os.unix.linux.infos (German), which contains a lot of useful articles about the &Linux; operating system. Just have a look on the group list of your newsserver for it.</para>
