looking for active user forums for Linux issues 1

[g33man]

Hi all,
Tek-Tips is the goto place for many things, but based on the frequency of postings in this category, this is not the busiest place for Linux questions/answers/etc...

With respect, I'm wondering what some recommended Linux forums are that have a huge and active following?
Thanks.

Go to compuserve.com, find the link marked 'community', then look for their Linux forum.
It's not huge, but it's active.

This link might get you there directly, or not:

I prefer quality to quantity. But if you want the latter, unix.com is also usually very busy.

Well, I am genuinely surprised at the speed of your replies - thank you! I may have judged this forum too quickly. I will stay a while and watch..... and participate.

Regards,
Mike

http://www.linuxquestions.org/

is pretty active as well.

It's not necessarily this board that is quiet, just simply that "professional/workplace" Linux/Unix users tend to be more tech/system savvy than the average "professional Windows" jockey

Discussion boards that are orientated towards "public" or "general" Linux users usually appear "busier".

Thanks Chris.
With fingers crossed, I will post my current question/issue shortly.

I agree with Anni on quality verses quantity. I find there is much less "noise" here, and the technical depth of the replies is invaluable.

I will second the nomination for Linuxquestions.org. In terms of Linux Security issues, I think it is second to none. By a similar token, I think this forum is the winner with respect to Windows issues, especially with respect to virus and malware issues.

 

[Annihilannic]

I haven't heard of Windows... is that a new distro?

I think it's classified as malware.
