Linux.org Quietly Comes Back To Life

Posted by Soulskill on from the to-feast-upon-the-penguin-food-of-the-living dept.

jfruh writes "The venerable Linux.org site quietly relaunched some weeks ago, offering much of the original useful content on Linux as well as some new articles. The site is still associated with Michael McLagen, a somewhat controversial figure due to the fights around the Linux Standards Association back in the late '90s. McLagen has not responded to requests for comments on the relaunched site."

    Why would this be useful for Linux users? They're all using Lynx, as Linux is a command-line-only OS.

    Maybe his first article should be about setting up a site with CodeIgniter...or not!

    Your mirror doesn't seem to work. Either that, or I've become a vampire without realizing it.

    I hook a flashlight to the fiber link and click it on and off really fast. Network cards are for amateurs.

    Fiber? Luxury! I pick up the telephone, dial a modem, and start making bonging noises, followed by hissing... and then a comment appears on Slashdot
