swestrupYears ago, I got myself a free account on freshmeat, not long after they had gotten started. I wanted to keep up with this new 'linux' thing, and open source software. Well, I eventually gave up on them, because months would go by between announcements of anything even remotely interesting to me. I recently rejoined the mailing list, as I wanted to keep abreast of developments that might make my job easier in administrating this web server, or could be a part of one of the projects I am thinking of trying out.
Its no secret that Linux software has been increasing exponentially, and I now find half a dozen interesting entries showing up per day. While on the one hand this makes me think its worth being on the mailing list, on the other, I have no time to download and install a dozen new pieces of software every day, just to see if they do what I need done.
So, is there a linux software review website out there? Something that does roundups and comparisons of software in different categories? Someone should definitely start such a thing if not, but I suspect someone already has.
