Summary: Tux Machines (tuxmachines.org) has been steady and vibrant for a very long time; we plan to keep on going for a long time to come because the site is very important to a lot of people

THERE is a new post here taking note of the eighteenth birthday of tuxmachines.org. I thought I'd say a few words on behalf of Rianne and I, who spend literally hours each and every day keeping this site updated. We plan to do this for a long time to come and we hope this is useful to many other people.



"Speed is very important when it comes to news and RSS feeds are well suited for this task."As noted above, the best way to keep abreast of the site is through RSS feeds. Speed is very important when it comes to news and RSS feeds are well suited for this task. For real-time communications tuxmachines.org uses IRC. It is unlikely to change any time soon because we tend to stick and stay with what already works.
