[ Linux Today reader Izak Burger writes: ]

"LinuxUser.co.za has announced a new site that aims to bring the vast amount of information available for Linux into context for the South African user. As a result of extensive research we have designed a site that will address this issue, focusing on Linux in South Africa and in other Southern African countries.

We will be bringing Linux news, information and services to South African users at all levels, from beginner to expert; from SOHO to the home user, through all levels of education and government, as well as in the enterprise, and industry. Among our primary goals we wish to become a centre of Linux information in South Africa.

To achieve our goal we also announce that Linux consultants in South Africa will now be able to list themselves for free on our site. This provides a central place to locate and select a Linux consultant that suits your budget in your city that can install and maintain your Linux systems.

The site will also list information such as where Linux software can be obtained in South Africa as well as Linux friendly PC retailers that will ship machines with Linux pre-installed. We will also provide a list of Linux training companies.

For fun we also announce the Daily LinuxUser Quiz. This quiz will provide new quiz questions on a regular basis that will be a fun way to test your Linux knowledge. With this you will be able to compare your ranking with other Linux users in the Hall of Fame, and more than likely also learn new and useful information about Linux."
