We would all like to extend our welcome,
as our support group grows. In "joining", please
remember that you are a teacher as well --
I direct you to the "linux links" from
our euglug.org site, where you can find:
Online Help: Linux Documentation Project, HOWTO's,
Hardware Database, Tips and Tricks, etc.
(all HIGHLY recommended reading!!!)
Linux "Guides": Newbie/Linux/Security/etc GOOD GUIDES
Dot Org's: Free Software Foundation, Gimp, Kernel, ODP/dmoz,
Open Source, Slashdot, XFree86, and X11 among others
Distributions and Window Managers: read about your favorite,
find out about alternatives ;-)
also read man pages on your local system
(type "man man" or ie "man chmod" at prompt)
I spent a lot of time getting to know a bit of linux through
the HOWTO's, although some are dated or don't apply to a specific
distribution (SuSE, RedHat, Mandrake, etc)...
it helped a lot, but there's a lot to wade through :-/
Well, you new folx may not see much of me, but I'm online
plenty (although I'll be travelling a lot until Fall term starts),
and will be lurking around...
cheerio/cheers
