A promising article series - 10 Commandments of System Administration.
Nostalgia for people who grew up in the 70's and 80's - Do You Remember.
Another article series - Hardening Linux. Part 3 in the series at IBM's DeveloperWorks.
Be confused no more - ConfusingWords. Will tell you the difference between affect and effect among others.
Open source Crystal Reports style reporting tool - OpenRPT. Cross platform too.
Another nifty self contained wiki - DidWiki. Weighs in at a whole 25kb.
