From the SearchLinux.com website, we learn
that our friends have been busy:

Today, I am proud to announce that Searchlinux.com has been
acquired by CNET, Inc. The new look you see today is the first of
many significant improvements that we will be rolling out over the
coming months. Although the look and name have changed, our mission
remains the same–to provide the most comprehensive and up-to-date
source of Linux help information on the Net.

I welcome your feedback on our new look and our new ownership.
Please feel free to send your comments and suggestions directly to
me at timm@cnet.com.

Founder, Searchlinux.com
