Re: [newbie] NOTICE: CNet no longer support LINUX download !!!
Oh I agree that it's silly when the US tries to use strong arm tactics in other countries. But, remember, if there is a presence of a company in those countries, they can still take the offending site to court in their own country. Anyway, just cause a site is in another country doesn't mean that a company still couldn't attempt to bully the offending site with a lawsuit.

If CNet was afraid of SCO, they could remove links for downloading full distros, but that's about it. The average app doesn't have UNIX code and is not subject of SCO's lawsuit.

The linux download section of Download.com rarely if ever gets any traffic, and all the entries are more than just outdated - a good number of them were dead links; their partner, ZDnet, has more activity and is a bit more better suited to linux - so by getting rid of that archive, they're making for easier work on the staff. 2.) CNet isn't exactly the place where linux freaks go - articles, specials and the likes are more aimed at either Windows or Macs. It IS a great archive for Macintosh - and not really a good one for Windows anymore. They're sagging in popularity as it stands, and CNet's reputation isn't what it was five years ago. 3.)
