“In response to soaring demand for information about Linux, VA
is using Linux.com to create a comprehensive open-forum community
for anyone, from consumers to programmers, who is interested in
Linux. In particular, Linux.com caters to business users who need
to evaluate Linux for their companies and need to know which Linux
vendors to turn to next.”

“Although Linux.com first went live today, the site has been
receiving more than 100,000 hits per day, evidence of the pent-up
demand for information on Linux solutions. Innovative features of
the site include real-time chat between Linux community members
about a variety of topics, and an index to Linux tuning
information, which has been hard to find in the past.”

“Linux.com offers both general and technical information.
Consumers and business people who are interested in Linux can find
Linux User Groups (LUGs) to connect face-to-face with other users
in their area; free online support; interviews with developers; and
current news on open source projects and other issues of interest
to Linux users.”
