If you don't already know use google linux to find linux related stuff.

well I bet most people know of this, but just in case people haven't heard of it yet, I wanted to give you the nice google linux address. Its just easier if your searching for linux related stuff to use www.google.com/linux (http://www.google.com/linux) as a start, so you don't have to include +linux in your searches.

\\:D/ and it has a nice penguin \\:D/

ps:makes a nice start page for firefox too :)

Thanks, I did not know that.

I modified the URL a little so that it shows the Advanced Search dialog and 30 results in English as the default settings.
