|
|
<P>Now that you are eager to use your newly acquired
|
|
knowledge to add utilities and other goodies to
|
|
your system, you may find them online at the
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.redhat.com/linux-info/linux-app-list/linapps.html">Linux Applications and Utilities Page</A>, or on one of the very
|
|
reasonably priced CD ROM archives by
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.redhat.com/">Red Hat</A>,
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.infomagic.com">InfoMagic</A>,
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.lsl.com">Linux Systems Labs</A>,
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.cheapbytes.com">Cheap Bytes</A>, and others.
|
|
<P>A comprehensive repository of source code is the
|
|
<A HREF="ftp://ftp.vix.com/pub/usenet/comp.sources.unix/">comp sources UNIX archive</A>.
|
|
<P>Much UNIX source code is posted on the
|
|
<A HREF="news://alt.sources">alt.sources</A> newsgroup. If you are looking for particular source
|
|
code packages, you may post on the related
|
|
<A HREF="news://alt.sources.wanted">alt.sources.wanted</A> newsgroup.
|
|
Another good place to check is the
|
|
<A HREF="news://comp.os.linux.announce">comp.os.linux.announce</A> newsgroup. To get on the
|
|
<A HREF="mailto:unix-sources@pa.dec.com">Unix sources</A> mailing list,
|
|
send a <EM>subscribe</EM> message there.
|
|
<P>Archives for the
|
|
<A HREF="news://alt.sources">alt.sources</A>
|
|
newsgroup are at the following ftp sites:
