Why not use a news reader? Whatever

News _groups_ don't have news servers. News servers, such as
newsfe4-gui.ntli.net carry a number of newsgroups. Contact your ISP and find
out what specific systems they have provided.

As far as _this_ newsgroup (comp.os.linux.help), you're in for a bit more of
a problem, because this group isn't sanctioned, and is thus only carried on
poorly configured (or "we have more newsgroups than anyone") servers. On
the 15th of every month, the article "List of Big Eight Newsgroups" is posted
to news.announce.newgroups, news.groups, and news.lists.misc listing the
sanctioned groups (meaning that all news servers should carry them). I'll
save you the trouble by

[compton ~]$ grep linux valid.newsgroups.03.15.05| awk '{ print $1}' | column
comp.os.linux.advocacy comp.os.linux.misc
comp.os.linux.alpha comp.os.linux.networking
comp.os.linux.announce comp.os.linux.portable
comp.os.linux.answers comp.os.linux.powerpc
comp.os.linux.development.apps comp.os.linux.security
comp.os.linux.development.system comp.os.linux.setup
comp.os.linux.embedded comp.os.linux.x
comp.os.linux.hardware comp.os.linux.xbox
comp.os.linux.m68k
[compton ~]$

Now, your news admin may carry a LOT of other newsgroups - but at his/her
own whim, and they may or may not have good circulation. My news server
(giganews) has over 1100 groups with the word linux in the name (out of a
total of 99500 total), while supernews has only 374 of 35000.

As far as who carries this group, that's going to be a lot harder. I'd
suggest looking at the Path: headers on any server you can find that
carries it (example - google) and seeing if you see any server listed
that you may have access to. I've got 18 articles on my spool, and they
have come through 60 different news servers to reach me.

It seems to be a giganews group, It's also available on sedona and BT.
