    Question Non-technical Linux news site?

    I'll be migrating a friend to Ubuntu from Windows for the first time in the next couple of days and I'd like to give him a link to a site where he can go for news, reviews, and tips. I'm looking for a site that's easy on the eyes and aimed at end users, not computer professionals.

    Personally, I go to a site that just publishes a list of news links, but the info there is both more technical and more business oriented than will appeal to my friend.

    The news section at Linux Online comes close. It's easy to read, has catchy headlines, and focuses on big picture articles. It's not attractive, though, or fun and it doesn't publish how-tos.

    Any other recommendations?

    Thank you, that's a great suggestion. It's a nice looking news letter. I'll give my friend the link and see if it catches his interest.

    You can also encourage him to drop-by here in the Community. I'm sure he'll learn a lot from the Forums as many others did including me.

    Ars Technica has some great articles on Linux regularly, FS Daily is basically the Digg of Free Software, and Linux.com has a plethora of community articles varying from highly technical to very much layman's terms.

    I'd like to throw linuxtoday out there. I think it has what you're looking for.

    Thank you for your links. I'll throw them all at the wall and see what sticks. I've learned a lot from browsing these forums, too. And of course, Google is certainly the best trouble-shooting tool.
