[svlug] time for a Digg fork?

[Sridhar Iyer]

Digg has directory structure, so you can directly use
http://digg.com/linux_unix for linux/unix related news(I think all foss
related stories generally are filed under that category). You can
subscribe to RSS feed of individual topics.

I use yahoo pipes to mix 2-3 digg feeds of my interest.. you certainly
dont have to plough through the news..

As I grow older , I regret to say that a detestable habit of thinking seems to be getting a hold of me.
