Eight great Linux/Unix stories that made digg front page in 2007
Follow @ggarronI had an idea today, as the 2007 is ending I wanted to review the Digg Linux/Unix most popular on this year page and look for some stories that were not news, and were not pictures, but instead are useful Linux guides that will be useful also next year, don't get me wrong I am not saying the other stories are not useful, anyway they got digg's front for some reason.
While looking for these stories, which were suppose to be only 5 I have found some real good ones so now they are more than five, actually they are eight, not all in the section of "real useful" I mentioned before.
Well I better stop chating and give you the List.
The order is the same order they have on digg, with the more voted in first place.

If you like the list, or if you missed some of them, help others do not miss them, and digg it if you like it
Also it could be a good idea to save it on your delicious so you can consult the list later.
