I'm looking for a good Linux website that has the latest Linux news and software releases. Also, looking for reviews on linux software and ratings. Kinda like a Cnet for Linux. Any suggestions?

For news u can go for lxer.com, InternetNews, RegDeveloper. For software, it depends on u r distro. sf.net is the best on top of my head.

Have you tried http://distrowatch.com/ ? Its what I use for small reviews and to know what the latest in Linux is.

http://osnews.com - I like this one, but it's about all operating systems.

I take it back...my bad. What I am looking for is a website that is mostly for newly released linux software, so I can keep on top of the new cool applications out there.

http://lwn.net. Some content is subscriber only for 1 week. The subscription is pretty good value for money, better than any dead tree magazine.
