“The Linux Insider (www.LinuxInsider.com), one of the anchor
sites on the NewsFactor Network, is now offering a free
Internet content service for webmasters, Web site owners, and
developers of Linux-related sites. This new service provides
breaking Linux and Open Source news headlines, updated
continuously, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.”

“The fast-growing popularity of the Linux operating system has
spawned thousands of Linux-focused Web sites. Yet, Web site owners
are quickly realizing how difficult and time-consuming it is to
provide fresh, exciting content that attracts new and repeat
visitors to their sites. The Linux Insider FreeNews Feed enables
webmasters to download a single line of programming code that is
easily inserted into any Web page, thereby causing dynamically
updated Linux news headlines to appear on that page. Once in place,
the news headlines, gathered from the top news sources around the
world, are updated automatically every five minutes. The code is
available in multiple formats, including HTML, text-only, RSS, and
XML. It is also easily tailored to filter only news about specific
Linux-related sub-topics, such as kernel news, databases, Red Hat,
Caldera, Debian, Mandrake, TurboLinux, SuSE, Corel, Slackware and
more.”

“Our FreeNewsFeed service provides a win-win deal for Linux Web
site owners and for the Linux Insider,” said David Geller,
spokesperson for the NewsFactor Network. “Webmasters can provide
their readers with extremely sophisticated dynamic news content for
their sites, at no charge and with little effort. In return, our
headline news service gains a new and expanded audience of Web
surfers interested in the latest Linux-related news. We have
invested in the development of this service to provide other Linux
Web sites with top-notch news headlines as a marketing initiative
for the Linux Insider.”
