If you have any additions and/or comments on this list, please mail me at
the following address :

                         andrew@bing.apana.org.au
                             andrew@unico.com.au

(if you simply use and/or like the list, I'd also like to hear :)

I *cannot* guarantee that this list is completely up to date (or accurate)
100% of the time, so i'd *really* appreciate updates.  I'm especially keen on
getting more *BSD groups on this list.

You can get the list from one of two places :
    i) off of the USENET newsgroups aus.computers.linux, aus.computers and
       comp.os.linux.announce
    ii) by sending mail to linux-ug@bing.apana.org.au
        (Make sure you have a valid "From:" header !)

Mailing List :  Setting up an SCA announcements list NOW! Keep an eye on 
                aus.computers.* for details.

Notes : The Linux support is only a recent addition to the group, so we'll need
        some good user involvement to build the group up to a good base. Free
        parking, free entry and a comfortable air conditioned environment make
        the facilities ideal.

        Hope to see you there!
