“Time for another hidden gem column. These columns highlight
things that I’ve found to be relatively little known, yet
significantly help one’s use of a Linux system.”
“… this hidden gem is a Web site, simply called

“The Linux world, even more than other corners of the
information super-gridlock, is becoming awash with portals.”
“Heck, we now have companies offering tools that let anyone make
their own portal.”
“But not Google.”
“And yet, much of what one would want from a portal, whether
information about Linux or anything else on the Web, is available
here.”
