“The popular Linuxfool.com portal unveiled a public beta of its
new Linux Resource Directory, which gives access to users to Linux
sites of all sorts. Over the past months, the portal has become
somewhat of a support gateway for many Linux users. In the first
few weeks of its existence, the site’s own administrators as well
as visitors have helped answer at least three hundred questions,
with over 1000 total posts. Ironically the site has been featured
in a Microsoft Windows-related e-zine, Lockergnome, and is catching
a lot of attention from Windows users who are switching to Linux.
The directory is expected to grow significantly, and ultimately
the site will provide a single point of communication for all Linux
users.”
