When the Linux Foundation acquired the Linux.com domain from SourceForge earlier this year, it vowed to relaunch the site as more than just a go-to place for Linux-related news. The new site went live this morning and it's sporting enough bells and whistles to make any Linux enthusiast proud. The community has itself to thank, of course, since they came up with most of the ideas.

I wanted to highlight Open Source Living as a valuable resource for OSS for beginners and end users. OSLiving is a community-driven dynamic archive of Open Source software spanning all major platforms. The site is well designed and run by a small team of 4. It's a good way to find out about OSS, particularly via the frontpage classification table.

Drupal is an excellent free software content management system, written in PHP. It's a good choice if you have to build a new site for non-technical users or customers, as both content editing and site administration can be done directly in the main site by authenticated users, and there's very little markup for those users to learn.

The site is still in it's infancy and doesn't have much of a community yet, but it's shaping up to be a great addition to the linux community with HowTo's geared towards beginners, desktop users, and those seeking certification. In the future, video tutorials will live side by side with text HowTo's. Enjoy

Kevin Thompson has been in touch with details on his new website, TuxSoftware.com. Like the recently launched Linux App Finder, the site aims to make it easier for Linux users to find programs and install them with a few mouse clicks. Read on for Kevin's lowdown on the site...

Recently Ubuntu/Canonical contacted me for the use of buntu in our domain name. I had emailed them long before any announcement of the site but with no reply until the site began to attract visitors/users.

I understand that Ubuntu/Canonical has a job to do when it comes to protecting their best interest. But Ourbuntu is doing nothing more than giving users the ability to setup a Ubuntu/Linux based system and sell it at no cost. Which helps promote the use of opensource software.

The Open Source Technology Center (OSTC) at Intel has launched a Web site, LessWatts.org, to help Linux users maximize power savings. The site hosts several open source projects, and shares tips and tricks to help optimize power consumption on hardware from portable devices running on batteries to large data centers.
