I come across loads of linux links while searching for stuff related to linux. I share some of the websites which I found to be interesting below.

A very good site to pick up the skills in configuring various networking related linux softwares.

TLDP.Org - This site is maintained by a loosely knit team of volunteers who provide documentation for many aspects of Linux. There are several forms of documentation: Guides, HOWTOs, man pages, and FAQs.This is one of the first places to look when you encounter a problem related to linux.

LinuxQuestions.org - This is a linux forum where you can post your questions based on linux and get them answered by visitors to this site. Even if you are not interested in posting your question, it would be worth your time, if you browse through posts on this high traffic site. A number of times when I googled for linux related topics, I got this site consistently in the first page of the search - which speaks volumes about the popularity of this site.

L.O.S.T - A site which hosts user contributed tips on getting various jobs done in linux. The tips can be eaither downloaded as a fortune database or can be viewed online.

Linux Magazines

Redhat Magazine - An online magazine brought out by redhat. This magazine publishes articles related to redhat enterprise linux and fedora.

LinuxGazette.net - A monthly magazine dedicated to linux which can be downloaded in a variety of formats for offline viewing. I really like their 'Ask the Answer Gang' and 'MailBag' sections.

LinuxGazette.com - This is the counterpart of the linuxgazette.net magazine whose team split into two because of the difference in opinion between them. You can post your articles and questions in its forum after you have registered with their site.

LinuxFocus.org - The goal of LinuxFocus is to produce and publish a free online magazine about Linux and related issues in a number of languages. LinuxFocus is an open magazine, it is the joint effort of many people. Anyone can contribute interesting articles.

Linux-Mag - This is another online magazine which has loads of articles and tips on linux for both the newbies and the linux guru's alike.

LinuxHotBox - This is a linux eMagazine which you can download and read offline. Has quite good subject matter though the magazine itself is over a few MB's download which could be tough on dialup users. Ironically, they only have a windows exe version of their ebook for download.

Online Books

Rute - A great, must read, online book on linux. You can also get the printed version of this book.

Safari.OReilly.com - This is the online library of O'Reilly - the biggest computer book publishers in the world. You get to read most linux books published by O'Reilly here. It is basically a paid service but you can try safari free for 14 days.

These are only a few of the interesting sites I came across. You can get more linux related links on the right side bar of this site under the section 'My Linux Bookmarks'.
