The following is an unpaid endorsement for LinuxLinks.com.

I, too,  have noticed that there is less that I consider "newsworthy" in 
the news sites, so BRAVO!
Registration is completely painless and consists of [ I think ] a cookie 
that allows you to keep your favorites within the site current.
I accidentally deleted it once. ;-) The site is deep, and you can easily 
spend many useful hours there.

I cannot recommend strongly enough to any "newbies" in the list what a 
wonderful resource the forums truly are.
I have been dabbling in Linux for a few years now, but still consder 
myself a newbie, because I am nowhere near as facile with it as I am 
with the Windows 9x's. Taking a virtual tour of XP before it was 
released was what made me investigate Linux in the first place.
As an avid user forum searcher, these really are great.
