Moving to Linux (AboutLinux). Bill Henning provides this series of summaries as he moves his web publishing business to the Linux Desktop. "I am really getting used to the X cut/paste - just select some text, and click the middle button where you want it inserted. Much faster than MS style Copy/Paste; and seems to work great for Netscape & Gnome Terminal. Saves me time. As a matter of fact, I now tend to be annoyed at apps on Linux that don't support the standard X cut/paste methodology."

The last item is an editorial piece about Linus.

Tip Of The Week: Sum it up. LinuxLookup takes a look at the md5sum command, to get a checksum on a file.
