<para>In this section we will detail some additional information

<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>
