I especially love www.google.com/linux which allows you to search for Linux 
specific information.

I still haven't figured out how to search for words with periods in them 
though.  Searching for "libgdk_imlib.so.1" is the same as searching for 
"libgdk_imlib AND so AND 1".  It usually finds good results anyway though 
so this isn't a huge problem.  Quotes around the word seem to have no effect.
