I had an idea today, as the 2007 is ending I wanted to review the Digg Linux/Unix most popular on this year page and look for some stories that were not news, and were not pictures, but instead are useful Linux guides that will be useful also next year, don't get me wrong I am not saying the other stories are not useful, anyway they got digg's front for some reason.
While looking for these stories, which were suppose to be only 5 I have found some real good ones so now they are more than five, actually they are eight, not all in the section of "real useful" I mentioned before.
Well I better stop chating and give you the List.
The order is the same order they have on digg, with the more voted in first place.
Useful ones

If you like the list, or if you missed some of them, help others do not miss them, and digg it if you like it
Also it could be a good idea to save it on your delicious so you can consult the list later.

I love linux...it is not a friendly kind of software, but i love it because i can play with to learn how it works. I don't really about Unix, but since i was in IT industries, this OS is the most preferred for servers.

I rather enjoy linux stories!!! These are all great posts to look at, to see how the titles and descriptions were written to get people reading the stories and digging them as well.
I think linux nation rocks.
It's great to see Linux stories reaching the front page of digg... these are all great posts to look at, to see how the titles and descriptions were written to get people reading the stories and digging them as well. It's difficult to get to the first page, but with some clever titles and a good, relevant topic I see how it's possible.
I used to rather enjoy linux nation…you should do smething similar even if you don’t use digg…
