Eric Raymond and Rick Moen have written How to ask smart
questions, a resource for newbies trying to obtain help from the Linux
community.
"In the world of hackers, the kind of answers you get to your
technical questions depends as much on the way you ask the
questions as on the difficulty of developing the answer. This
guide will teach you how to ask questions in a way that is
likely to get you a satisfactory answer."
