Over the last couple of years an awful lot of Dutch-language
Linux documentation has been written and deposited on web pages
with the strangest URLs imaginable. Basically this meant that Dutch
(and Flemish) Linux users were better off looking on one of the
English-language sites rather than trying to find some
Dutch-language documentation.

With that situation in mind, the www.nl.linux.org site has been
founded a few weeks ago. The primary goal of the site is to provide
a good web index to Dutch-language Linux users.

Currently the site is without graphics. It sounds boring but it
really means that we have a logo contest (with some actual prizes!)
— please wake up the nearest graphics artist :))
