Getting the software

# 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-2.4.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.
