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!
