Linux Directory Accepting Links
Nov 18th, 00:25 UTC
A popular linux portal is accepting links for both personal and commercial sites [under their proper categories], hopes to become the next Altavista for Linux users.
The popular Linuxfool.com portal
recently unveiled its new Linux Resource Directory,
which gives access to users to Linux sites of all sorts. Over
the past months, the portal has become somewhat of a support gateway for many Linux users. In the first few weeks of its
existence, the site's own administrators as well as visitors have helped answer at least three hundred questions, with over 1000 total posts.
Ironically the site has been featured in a Microsoft Windows-related e-zine,
Lockergnome, and is catching a lot of attention from Windows users who are
switching to Linux.
The directory is expected to grow significantly, and
ultimately the site will provide a single point of communication for all Linux
users.
The site also provides
significant resources for Linux Webmasters, such as a web ring and banner
exchange. In only a mere few days, the banner exchange has shown over
20,000 banners, and has clickthrough ratios as high as 6-7% for some of its
members.
Overall, Vladislav Davidzon,
LinuxFool.com webmaster, hopes that this site will attract Linux enthusiasts,
irrespective of proficiency level, experience or expertise. As this goal is
accomplished, registered and new users will come to rely upon each other as
"experts," seeking technical support and assistance from each other,
in an unmoderated setting. With the web site currently exceeding projected
volume expectations, LinuxFool.com averages between three and four hundred
thousand hits each month.
The site can be reached at http://www.linuxfool.com
