Eight great Linux/Unix stories that made digg front page in 2007
I had an idea today, as the 2007 is ending I wanted to review the Digg Linux/Unix most popular on this year page and look for some stories that were not news, and were not pictures, but instead are useful Linux guides that will be useful also next year, don't get me wrong I am not saying the other stories are not useful, anyway they got digg's front for some reason.
While looking for these stories, which were suppose to be only 5 I have found some real good ones so now they are more than five, actually they are eight, not all in the section of "real useful" I mentioned before.
Well I better stop chating and give you the List.
The order is the same order they have on digg, with the more voted in first place.

I used to rather enjoy linux
I used to rather enjoy linux nation…you should do smething similar even if you don’t use digg…
It's great to see Linux
It's great to see Linux stories reaching the front page of digg... these are all great posts to look at, to see how the titles and descriptions were written to get people reading the stories and digging them as well. It's difficult to get to the first page, but with some clever titles and a good, relevant topic I see how it's possible.
Good to see that some linux
Good to see that some linux stories made it up there to the front page. It has been catching on more for the consumer market, but I don't know if it's ever going to gain any ground on the more prevalent OS's... OSX is the way to go because you can have the best of all 3 worlds at home. Well, with Hackintosh you can do it on a PC now as well.
This is what makes Linux so
This is what makes Linux so great.
