B. Linux Resources on the Web
To get the latest news related to Linux and the free software movement, find new documentation, and keep up to date with the latest in free software, you'll want to turn to the Web.
The following table is by no means a complete list of these resources, but it gives what I consider to be the most important and useful Web resources for Linux, and free software in general. These are all sites which every avid GNU/Linux enthusiast should be aware of.
