Good Newsgroups

[b_usa]

Hey all. Sort of a new mood around here, isn't there... Sort of, well, a boring mood. Seems like it should be renamed from "off-topic" to "on-topic". But it's not my site, I'm just a visitor, and we all know that they don't really matter. <end wild hair> OK, back OT. Can anyone recommend a few good news servers and groups that I can read with my Linux newsreader? I am looking for a good Apache, web devel, and system admnistrations gruops.

Also, this is really quite an embarrassing set of questions, but I havent been able to solve them and it's time to take a hit to the prode and get some answers:
a. How can I get rid of the "quick launch" area of the KDE start menu that list your most frequently used apps?
b:How can I change my default browser to be netscape instead of Konqueror?
c.Last but not least, are any of you web developers using Linux to develop? If so, how? I can't find suitable tools for this. They are all worthy efforts, and are decent enough, but I really want to find something very similar to Macromedia Homesite (wonder if this might be a job for WINE) and maybe a simpler image editor (that supports transparency) to do image maps and general resizing, touch up, cropping, etc...

Thanks, Bryan
