Linux Documentation

There are many different starting places:

Dartmouth-specific Information:

• Dartmouth Linux Setup -- information on configuring your linux box to work at Dartmouth, including
  • HowToUseGreenPrintFromLinux
  • HowToUseKerberosAndSidecarFromLinux
  • HowToEmailFromLinux
  • HowToTakeOverTheWorldUsingLinux
  • How To Use Instant Messaging From Linux

General Linux Information:

• LinuxHowTos -- 'howto' documents on many aspects of Linux sysadmining
• LinuxDocumentationCategorized -- (one attempt) to categorize the documentation in a useful manner.
• InstallingLinux -- various guides, user walk-throughs, etc..
• LinuxCodeSnippets -- place for interesting short scripts/configs/hacks to make life pleasant

Two [okay, now more like a dozen :P ] starting places (besides here.. :) are:

• http://sa.dartmouth.edu/linux -- some basics, plus Dartmouth-specific configuration steps.
• http://www.tldp.org -- the Linux Documentation Project
• http://basiclinux.net -- Basic Linux Training - a series of online courses and a mailing list friendly to newbies just starting in Linux.
• http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/ - Click on `Tutorials' in column 3. There you are -- maybe 40 of 'em.
• http://www.wcc.net/~peacemkr/linuxindex.html - Lots of Linux links - Documentation, Portals, Search Engines, Distributions, etc.
