Selected GNU/Linux Web Sites

It is far more difficult to decide where to get information about GNU/Linux on the web than it is merely to find information. This is an extremely brief list of URLs that were active in May, 2000, and which should remain active for the foreseeable future. I am not personally affiliated with any sites listed here, but have merely found each of them useful, and believe them all to be of the highest quality.
