Linuxtracker – GNU/Linux torrent tracker site

Hey, i found a GNU/Linux distro bittorent tracker site at http://linuxtracker.org/. You can find a lot of GNU/Linux distro here from the most familiar (Debian, Fedora, SUSE and Slackware) to seldom heard distro (astaro, auditor, b2d, berrylinux, etc). There’s a lot of distro to choose from! The list is not only limited to GNU/Linux distro, *BSD distro flavour derived operating systems are also listed here (FreeBSD, opensolaris, netbsd, OpenBSD, etc), making choices more diversified.

On the negative side, distros (torrents) offered here seems to lack seeders, with the exception of popular distros (Ubuntu, Fedora, Knoppix, etc), you will be considered lucky if you can get a torrent with more than 10 seeders for some seldom heard distro.

Finally, this site can be useful for you if you want to try out exotic distro or to find how diversified GNU/Linux distributions are.

Python programming e-books

I found a place for python e-books, while searching python references on the internet. But I don’t know about the legality of the books listed here, but i’m sure that some of them are freely distributable. Use at your own risk.

AdBrite added Intermission option


Advertise with Mypapit at low price

AdBrite offers a new type of advertisement, instead of offering 1,7 and 30-day text-links, advertisers now can choose the “Intermission” option. This options allows you to pay only when someone visits your site. Think it as a “Sponsored Links” but you are only promoting your website (without products and services).

With this option, you will not write or upload an ad. Instead, visitors will automatically be taken to your site. Starting bid for Intermission is $0.01, but it depends on bids made by other advertisers.

IMHO, it’s great for AdBrite to add options for those who only want to place their links on another website. At least it could add diversity to text-links advertisements.
