Richard, A Google search of "Wordpress Debian" brings up a Wiki with detailed instructions for installing Wordpress on Debian. So, there are Debian packages for Wordpress and detailed instructions for installing it.
Checking the links at the bottom of the page took me to the Wordpress site, and the Support link took me to the support forum in the form of a Wordpress blog.....not surprising, since the folks offering support are all Wordpress junkies (not meant to be disparaging to that group). Since the support offered is free, those who offer support have the right to choose how they provide support. You could ask the Wordpress support forum if there is a USENET group. However, their support forum seems easy enough to use in a browser, so this forum appears to be your best avenue to get help. I would assume you can set up your Wordpress account to get email notification of answers to your questions if you don't want to be bothered with checking the forum on a regular basis. There is also an IRC channel for support for Wordpress, if you have the patience for that form of communication...;) Googling "list of usenet groups" took me to Harley's page (first entry in the search) - (http://www.harley.com/usenet/master-list/): "Welcome to Harley Hahn's Master List of Usenet Newsgroups, the only annotated master list of Usenet newsgroups on the Internet." Again, I have no idea who Harley is or if his claim is true, but using the search box on his site returns the result that there are no newsgroups using the keyword "Wordpress". Googling "Wordpress USENET" returns lots of posts about why a Wordpress blog cannot be shoe-horned into a USENET format. I have no comment on the veracity of these arguments, but given the volume of negative comments about a possible plugin for converting a Wordpress blog into a USENET format from Wordpress enthusiasts, I would conclude that you probably won't find a USENET support group for Wordpress. My real point is to say that Google can be very effective in finding the answer to any question as long as the question is phrased properly. Complicated questions such as yours need to be broken down into smaller "sub-queries" in order to arrive at a meaningful answer to the complicated question. It is an iterative process that can only be accomplished by humans today....and maybe (probably?) AI tomorrow. Mark PS I am a little confused about why you are interested in Wordpress on Debian given your statement "I avoid blogs and web based support groups". It is none of my business, but Wordpress is one of the most used blogging software applications on the planet......
