+<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>
