@node Checking New Groups
@subsection Checking New Groups
-Gnus normally determines whether a group is new or not by comparing the
-list of groups from the active file(s) with the lists of subscribed and
-dead groups. This isn't a particularly fast method. If
-@code{gnus-check-new-newsgroups} is @code{ask-server}, Gnus will ask the
-server for new groups since the last time. This is both faster and
-cheaper. This also means that you can get rid of the list of killed
-groups altogether, so you may set @code{gnus-save-killed-list} to
-@code{nil}, which will save time both at startup, at exit, and all over.
-Saves disk space, too. Why isn't this the default, then?
-Unfortunately, not all servers support this command.

I bet I know what you're thinking now: How do I find out whether my
server supports @code{ask-server}? No? Good, because I don't have a

The @code{gnus-startup-file} variable says where the startup files are.
The default value is @file{~/.newsrc}, with the Gnus (El Dingo) startup
file being whatever that one is, with a @samp{.eld} appended.

go back to showing nonempty subscribed groups again. Thus, unsubscribed
groups are hidden, in a way.
+@cindex zombie groups
Zombie and killed groups are similar to unsubscribed groups in that they
are hidden by default. But they are different from subscribed and
unsubscribed groups in that Gnus doesn't ask the news server for
