Linux Links

• Linux Gazette is a very nice online journal to "Make Linux a little bit more fun". Attention: The site moved from www.linuxgazette.com to www.linuxgazette.net. This became necessary as the original host, SSC, decided to change the site from the edited monthly periodical to a more or less unedited webzine with an automatised article submission. The people from the original linuxgazette wanted to maintain the edited periodical style for linuxgazette and had to move the whole site elsewhere.

  I occasionally jump in to answer the questions for the answer gang.

• SourceForge has most of the ongoing open source projects, so if you are looking for a specific application and wan't to know if you can have it for Linux look there.
• News from the linux kernel are on kerneltrap.org
• More on Linux kernels then you ever wanted to know -- but you always can grab the latest kernel sources there.
• I'm registered at the Linux Counter Project where 144548 people registered 149914 computers running Linux at the time of writing. There are some guesses as to the true total number of Linux boxes worldwide.
• The Linux Documentation Project has collected a tremendous amount of documentation. From comprehensive general information on installing and running a Linux system, over network adminstrators guide (highly recommended) to very specific HowTo's with a limited scope and easy to follow "recipes" to get one particular thing done. One of my favourites: Linux makes Coffee
• Ever wondered what RTFM, ROTFL, IIRC and other crazy acronyms mean? go have a look. The page has also a wide range of Computer related technical Acronyms, not just usenet lingo. There is also a great and recently updated Jargon file by Eric S. Raymond.
