changes, arrrrg

too many websites and applications are changing things around to my dismay. change is inevitable and usually for the better, but when features that i like to use are removed then i get frustrated. the latest site to change things around is digg.
i like to read the linux/unix upcoming news thread. i don't care for any of the other categories on digg nor the front page. i'm not even sure i know what the "front page" is, i only read the upcoming news page.
digg seems to have made this page difficult to find. the changes are in process and called beta but till they get it right i have found a way to get to the upcoming page.
1. go to digg.
2. search for keyword "linux".
3. the so called front page of the linux category comes up with another search box and 3 drop down menus to refine the search.
4. select the search conditions such as, upcoming and newest first then hit the search button again.
5. voila, the upcoming page comes up and now you can read through the posted news links before the digg hoards kill the website.
6. bookmark the results page.
