Do you have a favourite website that is dedicated to Linux users?
only ubuntu? hmmm seem not fair for another distro 🙂
Sorry Tommy. Please feel free to add your own.
There is another great blog called http://www.ravisaive.in. It is also related to Linux stuff. Please check admin.
Cool new site is available dedicated to promoting free user documentation and Linux Desktop environments. The site provides absolutely free access to virtualized Linux desktops (current availability = Ubuntu 11.10 and Fedora16).
I apologize for replying to such an old post, but it’s a fresh new site that needs some users 🙂 All desktops are launched from your browser, using an optimized version of x11vnc. Take a look and make yourselves at home!
I will strongly recommand Ubuntu Tweak. Also another good one that should be mentioned Linux Expert
Sadly a very helpful beginner website that guides new users to try Linux was left out:
https://www.reallylinux.com
The Distrowatch.com was outstanding! thanks for this huge collection. made my morning!
It was very nice for you to take the time and place these sites and descriptions here so new windows fools like me that desire to learn linux can learn from.
Thanks.
