...making Linux just a little more fun!

Hi Gang,
In SUSE Linux Unleashed (pub 2005) on p20, there is a listing for Groups of Linux Users Everywhere. The URL referenced is broken. Does this list still exist, and if so where?
[https://glue.linuxgazette.com/]
Thanks,
Rex Backus

Gosh, no. It was old even in 2005 -- and the URL shows the point at which Phil Hughes had the redirect on linuxgazette.com (pointing back to ssc.com -- which is where the original GLUE page lived for years).
What is it you're after exactly?

Alas, SSC, Inc. not only discontinued the GLUE Web site entirely with no notice to anyone, but also give the Linux community no opportunity to adopt the Web site and back-end database at some other location. They apparently just mass-deleted it, one fine day.
SSC, Inc. no longer exists, either, by the way.
A sad loss (GLUE, that is). I list other, somewhat similar resources in my Linux User Group HOWTO, which is hosted at the Linux Documentation Project and (he says, pointedly) a large number of mirrors, having been deliberately published under copyleft licences that permit and encourage redundancy.
