I owe a very great debt of thanks to the following folks who have kindly
|
|
extended help and the use of their facilities to host the Linux Gazette.
|
|
Without their help, encouragement, and ongoing support the LG would not
|
|
be possible. Thanks!

For those of you who are accessing the Linux Gazette from outside the
|
|
US, or if you're having problems with slow connections at a particular site,
|
|
you might want to access these pages via one of our mirror sites. Once
|
|
again, I want to thank all of those who have kindly offered the use of their
|
|
WWW and FTP sites in order to make this possible!

|
<H2>Welcome to the Linux Gazette!</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
The Linux Gazette is an online WWW publication, and member of the Linux
|
|
Documentation Project, that is dedicated to two pretty simple ideas:
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
<B>making Linux just a <I>little</I> more fun<BR>
|
|
and, sharing ideas and discoveries.</B>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Pretty simple, eh? The basic idea behind all of this is that Linux is
|
|
one too way cool OS, whose price for admission is a willingness to read,
|
|
learn, tinker (aka, <I>hack!</I>), and then share your experiences. The
|
|
'Gazette was designed to be a compilation of basic tips, tricks,
|
|
suggestions, ideas, and some admittedly free-form stream of
|
|
consciousness ramblings meant to make using Linux a bit more fun. It
|
|
started out as strictly a personal project but has grown to include
|
|
contributions graciously provided by a growning number of folks. It is
|
|
to these that I am deeply indebted and wish to publicly offer my thanks!
|
|
Which brings up another point:
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Because the 'Gazette is a non-commercial publication, and will always
|
|
remain that way, it is a bit at the whim of my schedule. When I have a
|
|
bit of time on my hands I can write a lot. When things get busy, as
|
|
they often do, I can't write much. Thanks to all for being patient.
|
|
This is fun, but it does take a bit of time to put together :-)
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
So, hope that you enjoy this stuff, I know that I have. I'd encourage you to
|
|
drop a note to the author of anything that you find particularly helpful or
|
|
instructive. I've tried to include the author's email address for this very
|
|
purpose. Also, I want to thank <B>Matt Welsh</B>, coordinator of the <B>Linux
|
|
Documentation Project</B>, for graciously bringing the Linux Gazette under the
|
|
auspices of the LDP. The material included in these documents is covered by
|
|
a designedly liberal copyright: as long as you are using the material for
|
|
non-commercial purposes, you can do with them pretty much as you please. How
|
|
'bout <I>that</I> for fun, eh?
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Kudos, too, to the kind folks at <B>RedHat Commercial Linux</B>, the <B>Linux
|
|
Journal and SSC</B>, and the UK arm of <B>www.linux.org</B> for kindly offering
|
|
to host the LG and make their services available. Special thanks are due to
|
|
the guys at <B>Tennessee CommerceNet</B> (thanks, Tim!) where all of this had
|
|
its inception.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
The table of contents below will be updated each month and allow you to easily
|
|
find something of interest. You'll find the current month's LG at the top.
|
|
So, hope you enjoy and thanks for dropping in.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Have fun!
|
|
|
