I have some supplements:
Find appropriate forums/ websites and announce your software there.
There are many linux - forums where you might tell of your linux-program, and you too might search for possible users for your specific program, due to it's special purpose - i.e.: a DNA - Viewer could be promoted at biologist-sites.
Have a look at other announcements and orient on their style. Your posting will be recognized with more sympathy, if you are a valuable member of that forum.
http://freshmeat.net/
is generally a good site for OpenSource promotion.
Announce your webpage at google and other searching-machines. To make this work properly, make your pages indexable by robots. You find a good explanation of html-metainformation (language: german) at
http://selfhtml.teamone.de/
Look at examples of promotion which catched your interest. Why did they catch you? Lern from the best.
