Today I stumbled across a number of things that interest me in the GNU/Linux space. None of them are really related, though, so it doesn’t make a lot of sense to blog about them all in one entry.
Therefore, I’m going to try something new around here. I’m going to make a little entry for each […]
Arguably, the biggest difference between various GNU/Linux distributions is the package management system. Since I’ve been in the GNU/Linux world for so long, I’m comfortable with phrases like that’s a Debian system or such and such is an RPM system, but there’s likely more than a few of you out there that don’t really know […]
I’ve had a few people recently ask me about some basic information about installing applications in GNU/Linux. That started me thinking that although I’ve written about these topics before, they’re obviously quite popular. I took a quick look at the site stats and they bear out my observation: my posts on installing applications garner a […]
Today’s ODOS site is the Linux Newbie Administrator Guide.
Here at New Linux User, I tend to focus on home or desktop users rather than server or administrator users. The reason for this is two fold. For starters, I think your average home user is more likely to have less training and less money than the […]
Reader Tim brought up a good point today. He mentioned that one of the command line applications that he’d like to see get more press is Midnight Commander.
I’ve used MC off and on over the years and I’ve always enjoyed it. One of the things I really like about it is its speed. Since it’s […]
Today’s ODOS site is tuXfiles. I don’t know if that’s supposed to be a play on the X-Files or not, but I like it.
tuXfiles mantra:
“Hey, I installed Linux. Now what? What can I do with this thing? Why doesn’t my new shiny Linux system work?”
It’s time to learn how to use your Linux system so […]
The GNU General Public License version 2 has been in effect for 15 years. Richard M Stallman and his crew at the Free Software Foundation have been hard at work producing version 3 for the past year. Now, in true community form, you […]
Every now and again you may be doing some configuration changes within your X config files that will require a restart of the X server. Rather than rebooting the entire machine, you can (in most cases, unless your sysadmin has disabled this option) swiftly restart your X server with the following, vaguely familiar, keystroke:
Control + […]
Today’s ODOS site is Really Linux.
Before anyone freaks out, yes I have mentioned Really Linux before, but not in this series. There’s a reason why I talk about Really Linux so much. Actually, there are a number of reasons. For starters, the Senior Editor, Mark Rais, is a friend of mine. He’s been on the […]
Today’s ODOS site is Newbie Doc - a site full of documenation written by GNU/Linux newbies for GNU/Linux newbies.
The first thing I noticed (and liked) when I hit the site was the bright yellow tip o’ the moment plastered right across the front page. I reloaded it a couple of times and the tips are […]
