[SGVLUG] What kind of linux interest websites do you guys look at?

HAHAHHA.. i thought the 'chick of the month' thing was
funny.  sure a little low brow, but if scantily clad
women rolling linux-netbooks will ecourage more
people to think linux is 'cool' then hey, no harm
no foul.  and if there was a 'hunk of the month' thing
laying about, i wouldn't feel slighted in the least.

the mac site was linked thru endgaget a while back,
and tech TV regularly has this kind of 'programming'.
we're all adults (more or less).  if this were europe,
the women would be topless and no one would care.

/sigh

it's all just for fun, and i don't think the intent
of the site is to obejectify women, but hey, what
do i know.. just another lowly netizen trying to stay
employed.
