3. Getting the software

Contents of this section

In general, I grab my sources from ftp.uu.net and the other fine archive sites on Internet. In addition, Linux-specific binary ports are found in the usual Linux distrbutions and on the usual Linux anonymous ftp sites (sunsite.unc.edu and tsx-11.mit.edu in particular).

The newspak-2.5.tar.z distribution contains config files and readme files related to building uucp, news, and mail software under Linux from the various freely-available sources. It can usually be found in sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Mail/news. If you can't find it on sunsite, please send me mail and I'll make sure you get a copy of it.
