Appendix B. Free and Open Source Software Sites

I created this appendix to give you one place to go to for open source websites. These links include sites covering the history of open source, news, and open source tools. This is by no means a comprehensive list—new sites pop up every day—but hopefully these sites will act as an excellent starting point.

note

The Internet is a dynamic place, and some of these links might have changed. If the links are incorrect, search for the title in Google and drop me a line with the new link.
