There are a considerable number of Linux magazines available, in contrast to some vested interest computer magazines which appear to be boycotting Linux for some as yet undisclosed reason. Meanwhile some pro-Linux magazines have an almost revolutionary tone to them and some even include a flag to put up in defiance at the bland microsoftishness persisting in the oldfashioned world.

Linux isn't just for the PC. See: CRAY INC. ANNOUNCES PLANS FOR ALPHA LINUX SUPERCLUSTER SYSTEMS, ie some of the most powerful computers in the world use Linux. (was http://www.cray.com/news/0101/sc.html)

For those of you into Supercomputing on a budget, you can use Linux and your cast off machines to make a Beowulf Cluster

You can even upgrade an old-fashioned keyboard using special Penguin Keys

For business users, see Linux for Business, and here are some important financial decision-making things to bear in mind:

If you've got an office with a hundred computers, you only need to get ONE copy of Linux and you can have a perfectly legal software system running on all of the machines. This could save a great deal of money.
By having Linux you can save a lot of money by avoiding the expense caused by using bugridden software. I'm not saying Linux is bug-free, but at least the people who make it care about the quality of it and usually get it right, and also as it's well-written then if there are problems then it IS POSSIBLE to sort it out!
You can now get business software for Linux, a good starting point for which is StarOffice 5.1 by SUN, which not only runs on Linux but also makes conversion to Linux to be made easier by the multi-platform nature of the software which allows parallel running with previously existing operating systems. Also available: WordPerfect, and various other software by Corel. Also see Linux for Business

A penguin? Many sites will tell you about Tux the Linux penguin, but for a long time there have been places whose symbol is a penguin, for example, famously (right), Penguin Books

Linux is pronounced Lin/Ux, according to Linus Torvalds, who invented it. It's sometimes pronounced "Lynux", which is fair enough, I mean, it's open source, so you can pronounce it how you like. But remember that its inventor pronounces it "Linux".
