Linux Buyer's Guide Launches

Linux Journal Introduces Its New On-Line Resource

SEATTLE, WA -- SSC Publications, publisher of the award-winning monthly
magazine Linux Journal, is pleased to announce the launch of the on-line
Linux Buyer's Guide: http://www.linuxjournal.com/bg.

The print edition of the Linux Buyer's Guide has always been a hit with
Linux enthusiasts around the world, and this year we are excited to
introduce the guide as an on-line resource. Free to all, this comprehensive
directory of services and products will allow users to effortlessly search
Linux-related products and companies.

Linux Journal Editor in Chief Richard Vernon commented, "With the ubiquity
of Linux, the number of Linux-related products is growing exponentially and
keeping track of them is certainly no easy task. The Linux Buyer's Guide
brings together information on thousands of Linux-related products --
everything from server hardware to games. By switching our Buyer's Guide
from a print to an on-line format, we can ensure the information is
up-to-date and easily searchable."

Vendors and maintainers of free software wishing to list their products and
services in the Linux Buyer's Guide can do so for free, and will now have
the ability to update their listings as often as needed, with a minimum of
once per calendar year to ensure accuracy. For additional information on the
Linux Buyer's Guide please visit http://www.linuxjournal.com/bg, or send
e-mail to bg@ssc.com.
