Hi All.
Altho' i find the idea of a linux-newbie FAQ quite a good idea, i feel i
must say that most questions which are asked here are already in a FAQ.
Of course there will be spesific questions which may or may not already
have an answer in one or another FAQ.
Now considering that "most" people dont realy know whats happening when
they install linux for the first time they tend to follow the instructions
written on thier screens, one of which is about installing Documentaion,
considering this fact then most newbies will have the FAQ's on thier
systems already.
What is needed more than anything is a "Welcome message" sent to all new
subscribers of this list. The message could then include some text telling
new subscribers where to look for the FAQ's on different systems.
The FAQ can be found as stated below.
Redhat /usr/doc/FAQ/FAQ
slackware /usr/doc/faq/faq/linux-faq.ascii.gz
debian /usr/doc/FAQ/linux-faq.ascii.gz
If an answer to a question is not there, then normaly there are pointers to
other files/howtos.
