What are some big name Linux oriented tech sites?

I think I have most of the smaller blogs, but now I am looking at the larger sites.

More of a 'overview' site than in-depth, but its worth a look. If you check any of the distro pages, theres links to lots of decent sites, see the 'review' area.

If it's a "big name" site, then wouldn't it be the sites you know about and are easy to find?

lwn.net and mailing lists are the only ones worth reading. Everything else is blog spam.

I dunno if they count as "Big Name" butOMG!Ubuntu (http://omgubuntu.co.uk/) does some great coverage on Ubuntu updates. WorksWithU (http://www.workswithu.com/) sometimes does interviews and talks about corporate goings-on at Canonical.

These are really cool, plus they have lots of articles, blogs, and forums.

He said he wanted news, not ranting tidbits from an uninformed zealot.

It's not up-to-the-minute news per say, but I like to listen to FLOSS Weekly - http://twit.tv/FLOSS - which always has some great interviews. They always talk about where projects are going, which I like.

Haha, don't know would I call that news now, I've seen him to be dubbed the "Grandaddy of Linux FUD", and with good reason too.

These are two which I regularly look at:

www.tuxradar.com (the semi-official website of the Linux Format Magazine)
http://distrowatch.com (more of a Linux overview, but still pretty good)
