The Award

Here at Focus On Linux, we award ten (10) sites at the end of April, and another ten (10) sites at the end of October. Sites recieveing the most recent award will be marked Best of the Net in our links library.
Award Criteria
Each site in our links library was reviewed and scored based on the criteria below. The ten (10) sites with the highest scores are presented with the Best of the Net award.
- Quality and usefulness. Overall quality of the site, overall
quality and quantity of content.
- Availablility. How consistently is the site up/available? Is it
mirrored to improve access to Linux users everwhere?
- Salience. Is the status of the site directly representative of the
status of the Linux community itself. Is the site important?
- Originality/exclusivity. Is this site unique in the benefits which
it offers to the Linux community, either because it is entirely
original or because it so eclipses its competitors/peers?
