That way I don't have to go to the web site to see if anything's changed.) lwn.net (which also has an announcement list.) lwn.net/daily (every day or two.) www.scripting.com (he watches Linux, but it's mostly about Frontier -- the name Scripting News is a misnomer.) comp.os.linux.announce (usually via the web archive.)
