JonEberger Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 (edited) So I hit up about three forums. I hit this forum (obviously), the fedoraforum.org and ubuntuforums.org. I think these are good forums. I've got a laptop so I look at linux-laptop.net pretty frequently for make Dell laptop model. I like Slashdot for news and I just enjoy looking through the projects at Sourceforge.net. I've also taken to looking in Krugle.com for code pieces that I could use. I like coding for math.....so I have started looking at stuff in the Octave project. I hope this is interesting.

yossarian Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 I like coding for math.....so I have started looking at stuff in the Octave project. Jon Have you tried scilab? It has an IDE with an editor and a debugger and everything, which is an advantage IMO. Besides, they are running a sub-project called scicos, which is supposed to be similar to Simulink. Doesn't work at all, from what I have noticed in the three minutes I tried it, but nevertheless, you must appreciate the courage. It's quite ambitious, to say the least. my favorites for browsing opensource projects are http://www.ohloh.net/ and http://freshmeat.net/ This OHLOH site got into my favorites. Thanks!

SoulSe Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Another vote for Freshmeat - always nice to go through the lists and discover new OS software. I also like Sourceforge for going through projects and seeing what's being done. And then for Linux / Unix / OSS news and interesting bits of info, Digg has a dedicated Linux / Unix section which is always full of good stuff.
