Alexa explanations:

Traffic: This rating indicates how a home page ranks against other home pages on the Web in terms of traffic. Home pages are personal pages hosted by community sites or large ISPs. This is derived from Visits

Links In:  The number of Links In is an indication of reputability. "Links In" is the number of different Web pages that link to this particular Web site.

Pages: "Pages" is the number of Web pages on the site. Page data is based on Alexa's periodic Internet crawls. Page data does not include pages excluded by robots.txt, cgi-bin, and other restrictions.

Visits: Traffic data is based on "Visits" over the last 6 months, which is a count of the total number of page visits by Alexa Users to this site. Alexa measures the largest, most geographically and demographically diverse sample of overall web usage currently available.

Notes: For some reason, Alexa hasn't measured pages in Freshmeat, so that number is missing. Also, I included Scripting.com as a Linux-related site because they have begun Linux development, have a growing Linux constituency and are hoping to partner with SSC.

FWIW: Alexa was just bought by Amazon.
