I have noticed there are no gentoo newsgroups on usenet. This appears to be a bug. It would be great to have a newgroups dedicated to the gentoo culture. To have such a gentoo group that can be referenced by google searches would be valuable.
There is the alt.os.linux.gentoo newsgroup. If your ISP does not carry it, you could ask him to do so. Google does not archive the group yet, so I requested that on 2002/06/19 at their news administration department.
Thank you! That works!
