Hi and welcome to my page about Linux - most of it from the beginners point of view, but with some more or less advanced tips too. I try to update this page often,, but since I'm quite a busy person, sometimes it may take a month or two. Please sign my Guestbook and tell me what you think about this page if you're visiting the HTML version. Or, send me a mail, by clicking here
Please check out the The Linux documentation project to find even more valuable information.
This page is a member of the Linux webring. Go to: [ Home ][ List ][ Next ][ Prev ][ Random ]
If you've been here before, you will notice the layout has changed. I'm now using the DocBook DTD instead of the linuxdoc DTD. I hope you like the new style, it's smaller pages so hopefully it's faster for modem users.
Thanks to a cool guy in China there's now a chinese version of this document available here.
Since the most frequently asked question I get in mail regarding this page is "Where can I download a printable copy of this document?" I decided I should add a more easily located place. Here it is.
