Question where you read on Linux?


What sites do you use to read the latest news on Linux?

thanks for your comments.
I've been reading most of these sites for the last few years and found them really useful. Still it did't stop me from trying to write a site, which would have a similar goal to these mentioned above but made automatically. If you have time, please take a look, http://oscomp.various.ecwhost.com/Linux.html and share your opinions, suggestions, requests etc. It isn't much right now, and for sure it cannot compete with Google News. now...

I use MagpieRSS to aggragate newsfeeds from the sites I'm interested in to a single web page. Means i can always find the stuff I'm interested in wherever I'm logged in from, and updates every half-hour. Looks like this:

News

It means I use my Firefox Live Bookmarks rather less than I used to, but I can live with that

I prefer reading directly from the (traditional) web ages, but use rss to glance at headlines when I am busy.

Hi reddazz,
so there are at least two of us Any other traditionalist out there. How do you find the site ?. Would it be of any use for you? What is missing? How about the design ;-), usability, articles selection and presentation?

Woah, retro!

I still go to the original pages - as you can see, it's only the headlines/thread headings that display on the page.

It just means I don't bother looking if I know there's no new stories, and also (when it comes to LQ) that I see more threads than I otherwise might - the right-hand LQ entries are the latest zero-post threads, for instance. . .
