Guides for different distros

[praka123]

@techurfuture:you should add a link about FreeBSD,root of all *BSD distros.
www.freebsd.org

 

[mehulved]

I will add it as I get more time and more useful links. If you have got a few more links please post them them here. I will add them to my post so it can be maintained in one post.
I will try to add ,maybe, Solaris too.

^^ Adding the complete source list is a bad move IMHO. Its very likely to cause breakage! Instead, you can link to ubuntu source-o-matic here: *www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic

 

[mehulved]

Doesn't it give the same thing?

 

[kalpik]

NO! There is a LOT of difference! The complete list has a LOT of crap! Also, source-o-matic tells you about each repo it can add. So you can select the repos YOU need.

ubuntu unofficial repos die and reincarnate sometimes.for eg;plf repos;so i suggest u should follow ubuntu forum's edgy repo news for details.
*ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=41

Very nice guide I also like to add linuxquestions.org , distrowatch.com and for new users try this podcast
www.linuxreality.com

 

[mehulved]

@vignesh distrowatch and LQ are there in 'Generally Linux'. And linuxreality added.

@tech_your_future

Sorry... didn`t see that..

@Prakash

Thanks..

 

[mehulved]

I have added a few links for FreeBSD. More on BSD's as I find time. And anyone willing to help out is most welcome.

 

[QwertyManiac]

Try adding XGl/AIGLX guide links too

 

[mehulved]

We better have some other thread for it. A separate thread would do it more justice.

 

[vignesh]

The Linux Link Tech Show is also another very intresting podcast.. Worth a try

Some nice Essays by Eric Raymond here *catb.org/esr/writings/

Those are not nice, Seriously. He's such a self promoting lamer. And that thing on smart questions already has been blown out of proportions.

If you want a really good resource on free software news, try this lwn.net. Its good. Current issue requires subscription however but just take a look at the archives. Have you mentioned tldp ? I hope i didn't oversee. You might also want to list /.

 

[QwertyManiac]

A small request for links to those tiny distros, like DSL and Puppy and so on. Not that anyone cares but I do refer this place to a few people and might help them
