This document is designed to be a resource for those Linux users wishing
|
|
to seek clarification on Linux/UNIX/POSIX related terms and jargon. At
|
|
approximately 24000 definitions and two thousand pages it is one of the largest
|
|
Linux related dictionaries currently available. Due to the rapid rate at which
|
|
new terms are being created it has been decided that this will be an active
|
|
project. We welcome input into the content of this document. At this moment
|
|
in time half yearly updates are being envisaged.

<para>Geona, operated by Gold Vision Communications, is a new

powerful search engine and internet directory, delivering quick

and relevant results on almost any topic or subject you can imagine.
|
|
The term "Geona" is an Italian and Hebrew name, meaning wisdom,
|
|
exaltation, pride or majesty. We use our own database of spidered
|
|
web sites and the Open Directory database, the same database which
|
|
powers the core directory services for the Web's largest and most
|
|
popular search engines and portals. Geona is spidering all domains
|
|
listed in the non-adult part of the Open Directory and millions of
|
|
additional sites of general interest to maintain a fulltext index
|
|
of highly relevant web sites.</para>

<para>LINUXDIG.COM, "Yours News and Resource Site",
|
|
LinuxDig.com was started in May 2001 as a hobby site with the
|
|
original intention of getting the RFC's online and becoming an
|
|
Open Source software link/download site. But since that time the site
|
|
has evolved to become a RFC distribution site, linux news site
|
|
and a locally written technology news site (with bad grammer :))
|
|
with focus on Linux while also containing articles about anything
|
|
and everything we find interesting in the computer world. LinuxDig.Com
|
|
contains about 20,000 documents and this number is growing everyday!

<para>Fultus Corporation helps writers and companies to publish, promote,
|
|
market, and sell books and eBooks. Fultus combines traditional self-publishing
|
|
practices with modern technology to produce paperback and hardcover
|
|
print-on-demand (POD) books and electronic books (eBooks).
|
|
Fultus publishes works (fiction, non-fiction, science fiction, mystery,
|
|
...) by both published and unpublished authors. We enable you to
|
|
self-publish easily and cost-effectively, creating your book as
|
|
a print-ready paperback or hardcover POD book or as an electronic
|
|
book (eBook) in multiple eBook's formats. You retain all rights
|
|
to your work. We provide distribution to bookstores worldwide. And all
|
|
at a fraction of the cost of traditional publishing.
|
|
We also offer corporate publishing solutions that enable businesses to
|
|
produce and deliver manuals and documentation more efficiently and
|
|
economically. Our use of electronic delivery and print-on-demand technologies
|
|
reduces printed inventory and saves time.</para>
