Today, justlinux.com, the first full-featured Linux “portal” on
the Internet, opened to the public. This website, offering a unique
array of free services, is a complete guide to the rapidly growing
Linux community. Its many services, including Email Forwarding,
Homepage Redirect, Dynamic DNS and the Linux Registry, connect
users to the Linux community.

For email forwarding, homepage redirection, and dynamic DNS
services users can choose from three free Linux specific domains:
linuxfan.com, linuxfreak.com, or penguinpowered.com.

Visitors can join the Linux Registry, a searchable database of
fellow Linux professionals and hobbyists. Users can include their
Linux expertise, links to personal web pages, links to online
resumes and much more. A community building feature of the database
is the ability of users to post job openings and projects that need
Linux expertise.

justlinux.com is also a directory of over 1000 Linux-related
websites, an advanced threaded discussion system, news from
LinuxToday and file listings from the Freshmeat database. Visitors
can submit their Linux-related website to the directory and add new
topics to the discussion area.

For more information, visit http://www.justlinux.com or email
