RIP LinuxChix

Published on: August 13, 2025

It’s a sad, sad day. An online institution, LinuxChix, has shuttered its mailing lists and websites. In its heyday, LinuxChix had over 2500 mailing list members on a variety of mailing lists, from programming to newchix for newbies to linux, I asked a lot of questions on their lists and always got great, considered and considerate answers. Small wonder since the rules for membership were simple - be helpful, be polite. It was a safe space to display my ignorance. I will forever be grateful for it.
