How did LinuxLinks start
LinuxLinks initially began as a private home page. Back in 1994 Linux was beginning to take off and our bookmarks had become increasingly disorganised. Over time, demand increased from other users to list the Linux sites on a more formal basis. Linux Links was then created.
As the internet grew we saw the need to register a domain name, to make it easy for people to find the latest Linux links.
Our goal is to make it simple for all types of Linux users, whether they be a complete beginner or a UNIX wizard, to find the most useful Linux software and sites on the internet in the least amount of time.
