What is the Linux Downloads Directory?

The Linux Downloads Directory, a section of Linux Forums ( http://www.linuxforums.org/ ), is a Downloads Directory, that links to the various Linux applications out there, from fully featured distributions to games. Users can submit new applications, review new applications, vote for applications, submit new versions for certain applications, edit existing applications, and set up Watch Lists.

What are Watch Lists?

Users can add applications to their Watch Lists to "watch" them, so when there is a new version of whatever application the user is watching, an email is dispatched to the user informing him of the latest release. That can be very effective if a user would always like to keep up to date.

Trusted Users? What's that and how to become a Trusted User?

Trusted Users are users who have more than 50 posts on the forums ( http://linuxforums.org/forum/ ), once a user reaches 50 posts on the forums, he'll be able to submit new applications without them being moderated. We developed this Directory having in mind giving back to the community its moderation. So all trusted users are able to approve/delete/edit new applications, as well as approve/delete/edit updates. So, if you want to become a trusted user, jump to the forums and make yourself 50 useful posts!

How to submit Downloads?

Easy, all you have to do is to log in or register if you are not yet registered, click on the "Submit Download" link in the main menu, add the information, and you're done! If you're a Trusted User ( see above ), your download will automatically appear in the directory, if not, a Trusted User will review your submission, and approve it if appropriate.
