Rob Kennedy has posted the
story of the birth of Linux.org - one
of the earliest Linux-related web sites - and its more recent rebirth.
The site was founded in May 1994 by Michael McLagan, at a time when
Linux itself was barely three years old. Linus Torvalds had only
just released it to the world, there was no real way for a newcomer
to find their footing, no search engines, no Wikipedia, none of the
infrastructure people take for granted now for figuring out a new
piece of technology. Michael built linux.org to fill that gap, a
place for people to learn about Linux and follow the movement as it
grew.
