FEATURED ITEMS

The Filesystem
For newbies a basic understanding of what a filesystem is and how to
maximise its potential is essential knowledge.

Putting Linux to Work
One of the biggest problems newcomers (newbies in Linux parlance) face, is
deciding what and what not to install. The most common solution is to
install absolutely everything in sight and hope for the best! If you're
thinking about doing this - STOP and read this first.

Putting Linux to Work: Planning
You just can't get away from it. If you're going to get the best out of any
system, you need to do some planning first.
