Rob Kennedy has posted the
story of the birth of Linux.org - one
of the earliest Linux-related web sites - and its more recent rebirth.

The site was founded in May 1994 by Michael McLagan, at a time when
	Linux itself was barely three years old. Linus Torvalds had only
	just released it to the world, there was no real way for a newcomer
	to find their footing, no search engines, no Wikipedia, none of the
	infrastructure people take for granted now for figuring out a new
	piece of technology. Michael built linux.org to fill that gap, a
	place for people to learn about Linux and follow the movement as it
	grew.
