http://www.linux-magazine.com –
At the risk of sounding naive, I'm concerned about how members of the free and open source software (FOSS) community treat each other.

Free Software and homeschooling: a match made in heaven?
http://stop.zona-m.net –
Free Software is widely used in education due to its lower cost and huge flexibility. Homeschooling is relatively popular in the USA and other countries.
