Today’s ODOS site is The Linux Documentation Project (TLDP).
TLDP has been around for a long time and is a living, growing repository of documentation on…well…GNU/Linux. The project has HOWTOs, FAQs, man pages, and guides on many topics. Many of the topics likely deal with topics which are outside the scope of a new user, but […]
Today’s ODOS site is Linux Forums. I actually got kind of attached to the place while I was there. There’s lots to look at and lots to read.
One of the things that I instantly liked about Linux Forums is the AUP (Acceptable Use Policy). It’s got a few spelling errors, but who cares - […]
Today’s One-Day-One-Site is Linux Help.
First impression? Popups…grrrr. And not just any popups - I got one for a registry cleaner. Dude…you run a Linux site. Having Windows ads pop up is just plain old bad form.
Despite that, the site looks pretty active and it has a lot of good stuff on it. The forums aren’t […]
Todays ODOS site is Linux Self-Help.
When I first visited this site, I thought that I had hit a splog rather than a legitimate Linux site. The main page looks a hell of a lot like your typical spam blog, but a more careful look revealed that I was wrong. It was the utter lack of […]
As far as I know ClamAV has been the only free (as in speech and beer) anti virus application for GNU/Linux to date. Now AVG enters the fray and is offering a free (as in beer only) version of their anti-virus for GNU/Linux.
Sadly it’s only available in RPM format, but thankfully the ever-useful alien may […]
I spent a lot of time trolling about Linux websites. Most of the sites I visit are of the forum-type and I’m generally either looking for questions or looking for answers. This is just one of the tactics I use to come up with topics for this site.
Over the past few months, I think I’ve […]
It’s rather a long story, but the end result is that the last GNU/Linux User Show is posted on my personal blog (link below) rather than on the TPN site. The gory details of what transpired to make the ending of the show so abrupt are also at that link.
I won’t rehash the whole thing […]
Have you ever wanted to take a look at the differences between Ubuntu and Kubuntu before comitting yourself to a killer 650MB download? Well, Mr. Bass has put together just the thing for you. He has screen shots of both Ubuntu and Kubuntu along with some side thoughts.
Personally, I decided on KDE a long time […]
One of the mount points in a GNU/Linux system is the root mountpoint (usually referred to as ‘/’). This is the root of the entire file system and any file or directory on the machine can be referenced from this point.
The chroot command ‘changes the root’ to another location. Why would you want to do […]
My original thought about this topic was that it didn’t really fall under the umbrella of ‘new’ user information, but then I slapped myself. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve admonished people about assuming that new GNU/Linux Users are new computer users. […]
