6 > I've subscribed to this mailing list but also gentoo-server and gentoo-security. I'm trying to keep up to speed with all the latest security news affecting Gentoo, GNU/Linux, Apache and MySQL. Should subscription to these mailing lists be sufficient for this or is there any other place where I should be looking to keep on top of security issues? I'm aware that this and the other two mailing lists are low traffic but I haven't heard a peep since subscribing on Tuesday. Is that normal? I was hoping to go through the archives of previous messages at some point. Are these kept somewhere?
