Superb Linux Newbie Guide

[Skunk]

I found this last night while browsing http://www.linuxdocs.org - it's a superb beginners guide to linux, explaining all sorts of bits and bobs you need to get going:

http://sunsite.dk/linux-newbie/

I picked up loads of useful information from it - definitely worth checking out if you are just starting with linux ;)

kewl, the howto's are some of the better pieces of documentation I find, and having them all in one place is good, but also check what comes with your linux distro, quite a lot have some decent documentation, eg SuSE normally includes a full set of HOWTO's with it (and all the RFC's but thats very technical and VERY dry reading)

also sites like http://www.linuxnewbie.org also have loads of new user friendly information for those learning their way around linux.

Hmm... I just took a very (30 seconds) quick look at this and noticed that in section 4.2.11 he put

echo /proc/sys/fs/file-max

when he should have put

cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max

This isn't to say that it's not a useful resource, but it isn't a good sign that he hasn't checked his code before putting on the web page (I always run the stuff for real, then cut and paste when documenting anything). So, by all means take a look, but remember that very few resources are 100% reliable.

YMMV, IMO, IANAL.
