I don't know if this has been posted yet, but today when visiting linux.com I found it's gone.

It seems the Linux Foundation has taken over and plans on making it a community based website.

Too bad, those guys had good articles.

That explains why there was a notice last month that they weren't accepting new articles...

I've read the article (http://blogs.computerworld.com/linux_foundation_has_bought_linux_com) days ago about Linux Foundation taking over Linux.com. We'll just hope the Foundation would continue bringing good technical-related articles (As the new handlers promised to leave the old-articles to be available on site) as to what the original handlers of the site had done before.

I hope someone mirrored the "running Windows viruses with WINE" article.

EDIT:
Okay, the old site is archived in its entirety. (http://www.linux.com/articles/feature/)
