   This group seems to just be an echo of the problems and solutions
   (often just crossposts) as the main comp.os.linux.* groups.

   There ARE Australia-SPECIFIC Linux issues, such as CD-ROM retailers,
   FTP sites, net access, and user-groups.  But they get lost in the noise.

   I cannot off-hand think of any posting that would be appropriate to both
   aus.computers.linux and comp.os.linux.misc, for example.

Part of the reason I read this group is that the bandwidth is far lower
than the comp.os.linux.* groups (except perhaps .announce), yet I still
get an idea of what linux people are doing and the problems they have.

Ciao,
