<para>In this section we will detail some additional information
resources which could be useful to you.  Many of the articles listed
below (for which <acronym>URL</acronym>s are given) are posted to
news groups regularly; some of those groups are also listed
here.</para>

<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>

<title>Test Groups</title> 

<anchor id="anc-infos-testgroups"/> 

<para>The following groups were created especially for testing,
&ie; after successfully configuring &knode; you should post some
articles to those groups to test your settings.</para>

<para>Some groups support automatic replies through email to enable you to
test whether your entered identity is correct and mail-replies actually
arrive in your mailbox.</para>

<para>In addition, some scripts are offered which check your articles
for erroneous settings and generate a followup with useful
hints.</para>
