Today's cool *nix link is an excellent Linux ezine, Linux Gazette [linuxgazette.com].
LG is published under the Open Publication License [opencontent.org] which allows for royalty free duplication of content. That's an interesting model for an Ezine.

LG has been publishing high quality articles since 1995, IMO, it is one of the understated and under appreciated resources available toe the Open Source community.

Every issue has a "More 2¢ Tips!" section, which is basic tech Q&A. There are usually some real gems in there.

After that is "The Answer Gang" section, where some rather technical questions are thrown at a group who do their best to answer with a little tongue and cheek.
Then it's the "News Bytes" section which gives the latest Linux oriented news.
Usually after that you get a taste of geek humor...
Then it's usually on to some really great articles. This months titles are:
Software development for a Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 Linux PDA [linuxgazette.com]
Perl One-Liner of the Month: The Mystery of the Red Worm [linuxgazette.com]
Book Review: Perl for System Administration [linuxgazette.com]
setjmp/longjmp Illustrated [linuxgazette.com]
The CUPS printing system [linuxgazette.com]
Programming with User Mode Linux [linuxgazette.com]

Each publication is available as in text, html, and html_long. You can go the web site and read it online, download it via FTP, and Debian users can even apt-get them.

Lots of good stuff there. Thanks for the weekly, littleman.

How do you find the time to look at all these cool things for *nix? :)
