CES is almost certainly the biggest tech show of the year for most people. Places like CNet provide so much coverage that it makes you wonder if there is anything there they did not cover. If you want to know the Linux news from CES, though, it becomes a little more complicated. While CES is not focused on Linux, at such a big show, there is going to be plenty of Linux news, so the question is, how do you get the up-to-the-minute Linux news from CES?

After a lot of searching, I found three Linux news sites that have said they will be covering CES this year or have covered it in past years.

• Phoronix has said they will be covering CES
• Linux Today covered CES previously
• Linux World also covered CES before
• Linux Journal covered CES last year and looks like they will be doing so again

Although it is often hard to know what to expect at CES, this year we know that a few Linux-related things will be happening:

• Asus, Intel, and Sprint will make a WiMAX announcement related to the Eee PC
• OpenMoko will be showing off their new Neo FreeRunner
• Everex will launch gOS 2.0
• E-Lead will have an Eee PC competitor with a unique input device

If all that still is not enough or you just want to know what is going on in the rest of the tech world at CES, CNet and Engadget will both be covering CES from a more general perspective.

And of course, I am sure there will be plenty of CES news right here at Linux Loop.
