Subject: PRESS RELEASE: LinuxLinks.com launches the Linux Package Guide

Linuxlinks.com, http://www.linuxlinks.com/ introduces the Linux
Package Guide, another free service dedicated to the Linux
community.

The Package Guide is located at http://www.firstlinux.com/package/
and contains information on the core packages of the RedHat, Suse,
Caldera and Debian distributions for the Intel platform. The database
is fully searchable allowing you to find out whether a particular
distribution supports your favorite application, and moreover, in which
package that application is stored. Currently both .rpm and .deb 
packages are supported and we anticipate adding further distributions
as their use becomes more widespread.

The Package Guide will be regularly updated with the latest packages 
and contributions from the Linux community are always welcome.

We would like to express our thanks to Linux Central, 
http://www.linuxcentral.com/, who are sponsoring this exciting 
development.
