Online Information Sources

Extensive online resources are available on almost any Linux topic. The tables in this chapter list sites where you can obtain software, display documentation, and read articles on the latest developments. Many Linux Web sites provide news, articles, and information about Linux. Several, such as www.linuxjournal.com and www.linuxgazette.com, are based on popular Linux magazines. Others, such as www.linux.com, www.linuxworld.com, and www.linux.org, operate as Web portals for Linux. Some specialize in a particular area, such as linuxheadquarters.com for guides on Linux software and www.linuxgames.com for the latest games ported for Linux. Currently, many Linux Web sites provide news, information, and articles on Linux developments, as well as documentation, software links, and other resources. These are listed in Table 1-7.
