Is there anything better than DOS jokes???

Better? No, it's still unmoderated. So there's some good stuff and there are twits. It's the wild west out there.
You can still get an account at eternal-september.org. There are a few newsgroups that are still active and interesting.
I've been running Debian stable on a ThinkPad as my everyday machine for over a decade. It just works. No issues.
Yeah, that's an issue. There are still several computing-related groups, but everything else is fading away. The only non-computing one I read is misc.news.internet.discuss. The Vancouver Canucks and Montreal Canadiens newsgroups both seem to have died during the past year. The Canadian football group gets the occasional comment. The old alt hierarchies seem slow or crud-infested. But if you want to follow comp.misc or Seamonkey updates, you're in luck.
