THE RIGHT PAGES

Internet

When we’re not hard

at work producing the

magazine, we like to

spend our time

searching out

software and news on

the Internet. In the

office we all have our

favourite bookmarks.

Janet Roebuck sifts

through some of the

latest finds that we

feel are important

and useful

Linux Dot Com

http://www.linux.com

A good portal site for all things Linux-

based. The news section is from NewsForge.

It has a nicely laid out Learn section with some good

articles for all levels.

The Linux Kernel Archives

http://www.kernel.org

This is the primary site for the Linux kernel

source. It also has a nice deposit of free

software not necessarily for Linux.

Linux Documentation Project

http://www.linuxdoc.org

LDP’s goal is to create the canonical set

of free Linux documentation. It includes

all the HOWTOs, manpages and guides.

The Linux Counter

http://counter.li.org

The Linux Counter Project is a non-profit

organisation dedicated to monitoring the

numbers and distribution of Linux usage. The

more people that register the more we can see

demand and present to companies. Statistics can

be sorted by country.

Linux World

http://www.linuxworld.com

LinuxWorld delivers hands-on technical

information and real-world cases of Linux in

the enterprise. It has features and assists for making

purchasing decisions. LinuxWorld caters for enterprise

technologists in need of products and consulting

services that will solidify open source computing

within their companies’ infrastructure.

A well-produced Linux portal with the

emphasis on selling you Linux-related

products.

association of groups, corporations and

TuCows

http://linux.tucows.com

The TuCows sites are enormous, with mirror

sites everywhere to help reduce download

times. The Cream of the Crop feature is a quick way

to keep up with the latest and greatest utilities. *8.gif

Start here

http://www.linuxstart.com

Linux Start is another search engine with

a strong Linux focus. Applications are

split by categories and the Web site is very clean

and useable with easy to follow directions.

UK portal

http://www.linux.org.uk

As Alan Cox maintains this site it is

worth a visit. The portal engine provides

all the news, but the best part is the diary.

Actually there are two diaries and both are worth

reading.

Fast search

http://www.google.com/linux

Direct your usual search by typing linux in

the path name. This also works for mac

and bsd.

Power PC users

http://www.linuxppc.org

If you are using a PPC machine then this is

your first port of call. The recent update list

keeps you abreast of what has been ported and

what’s being worked upon.

Windows user?

http://www.linuxnewbie.org

If you’re moving from Windows to Linux

then this is the place for you. It has its

own brand of help files written specially for

newbies.

Planet Linux

http://www.linuxplanet.com

The LinuxEngine is a nice search facility

on this site. Along with the reviews

section it’s well worth a visit.

Programming news

http://www.linuxprogramming.com

Linux Programming is the portal site for all

the news from the Web’s other

programming sites.

Games galore

http://linuxgames.com

Want to waste some time and need a new

game? Then this is the site for you. Better

yet are the HOWTO’s for setting up a LANparty.

Routers

http://master-www.linuxrouter.org:8080

The Linux Router Project is small enough

to fit on a single 1.44MB floppy disk,

and makes

building and

maintaining

routers,

access

servers, thin

clients, network appliances, and typically

embedded systems next to trivial.
