I thought you'd never ask... :-)
Linux News is a weekly (well, more or less) electronic newsletter that
tries to summarize the most important news about Linux, for example
uploads to FTP sites, new versions of the kernel, etc. The intent is to
make it easier for people to stay up to date about what happens to and
around Linux, without having to spend all day reading comp.os.linux. I
also try to cover more than just uploads, for example the previous issue
had an interview with Linus.
So far there have been three issues out (a fourth one is in the works,
but it will be late again due to work pressures). As far as I know,
they have not been archived anywhere, so for the time being I guess I'll
have to act as a mail-server if people want back issues. If there is
enough demand, I will try to coax one of the archive sites to carry
them.
