    The Linux Guide - A Project

    I recently started with a new idea of creating a page or some pages (as an online reference material) dedicated to Linux. What's more is that it's dedicated and targetted at newer users but I expect (and hope) for it to grow to be of help for more advanced users in the future.

    The basic goal is to answer questions asked by new migrants such as "Which distro" etc. etc. in a short and descriptive manner as well as more technical questions that may arise. I'm working hard to address the most common problems but after some weeks I don't think this is a one man project and that's why I've come here to ask whether anyone would like to help contribute to this reference.

    Please note that the current version (it's continuously being updated) is not presented in the best of manners (I think at least) and any suggestions would be great as well as possible other questions or answering questions. You would get recognition for your contribution of course.

    For those who are interested you can visit the guide through the link in my signiature.

    I think this is a brilliant idea. It more or less answers my grumbles about needing a FAQ here. I'd love to help - I'm not all that knowledgeable but I think I can write quite decently. Here is a bit of work I did as part of a possible FAQ (headings suggested by Minthaka)

    hazel,

    I'm very grateful for your help, I really appreciate it and thanks for the reply.

    At the moment I'm not in a position to review the FAQ you've written but as soon as I come back from writing exams tomorrow I will do so and perhaps contact you via pm

    Thanks alot!

    hazel,

    I just reviewed your FAQ and I like it. I do however already have something very similar to your "packages" section on my site already, but I think I'll mix some of your ideas together with mine and I will include the rest of your FAQ too - you will get credit.
