Im not a programmer, and have only been on this list for the past couple 
of months, but I enjoy the links, mostly because I find the connection 
between programming and Linux quite interesting. Its a thing you dont 
get to see much of, as a primarily windows admin person, and I was 
hoping to learn more about programming to further my Linux skills.

If Im not interested there is always "delete". I think people still have 
the time to browse slashdot, they just dont have time to write an essay 
about it.
