Best Linux programming related forums?

Question

What forums do you find most useful in Linux-related issues? These can be either general discussion forums (web forums, mail lists..) or speciality forums (tools, distributions etc).

There are tons of forums but it would be nice to know which ones generally have the best responses. SO of course helps to a point but obviously you sometimes need to ask from more than one place. Plus just browsing these forums teaches you a lot.

EDIT: So I'm also looking at places with discussion about Linux issues, not just the straight answer & question type here in SO.

Answer 1

ubuntuforums.org is ubuntu specific but with boards for broader discussion as well, for example.

Discussion is usually of high quality there.

If your question is linux programming related, just ask here. If it is linux admin related ask there;-)

Answer 2

I've found many answers from a google search at linuxquestions.org, I also second the Ubuntu forums.

But forums aren't the end all be all. Wikis and bug submission systems like in launchpad are also excellent sources of help.

As far as discussions, you'll find Linux users wanting to talk about their OS in Second Life, IRC, Google Groups and thousands of other places. We're fanatics!

Answer 3

What about server fault? :)
