I've been thinking what I could do more in order to help out Linux and the OS movement. I don't see myself coding / developing since I simply lack the skills. But I've had some info websites in the past which run nice.\

In The Netherlands we are missing a real up-to-date and mainstream Linux info website. I've looked around and saw a great possibility for me to provide the community with news, info and columns.

Today I've finished brainstorming and set the first step in order to pursue that goal of mine. I've registered a domain name and webhosting. I'll keep you all posted and up-to-date.

I'm in Belgium, so I'm very interested in your website.

When I have some free time again, I'm contemplating visiting as much libraries as I can in the neighberhood and put Ubuntu CD sets there (I will have to have meetings with the librarians to make them understand what it is and why it is both legal and a good idea).

would be cool. i've also dumped some cd's at the library. Took quite some time explaining to them what it was. Maybe your site'll help all those who think i'm the all knowing master of linux, which they can use for unlimited support. Cause i'm not. I'm willing to help, but i've got a live aswell. Maybe i can do something to contribute to your effort?
