Linux.org is hurting Linux; don't recommend it

It is hard for me to justify getting rid of linux.org due to a blog post. Linux.org is the original Linux website pretty much. Granted it isn't the prettiest, but it has sources for a lot of good information. The only banner I see that is non-Linux is the very bottom in the footer.

Now, I will agree that something needs to be done with that section in order to better it, or provide more links. I don't see the need for the getgnulinux.org website listed because obviously if they are reading the "About" section, they already have it :) I will definitely work on a new setup for 7.10. Instead of rejecting this report, I am going to keep it in "Needs Info" and "Wishlist" it so I know to work on it for 7.10. Thanks for the report and the ideas!

Yes, I agree with you.

Cheers!

changing back to confirmed due the the new LP updates that stuck it in incomplete.
