<BLOCKQUOTE><em>[
|
|
Hmm. Jim scribbled a note here advising me to make sure
|
|
to link the :Linux Tips and Tricks" site. I wonder where that
|
|
could be?
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>I tried the Google! Linux search
|
|
(<a href="http://www.google.com/linux"
|
|
>http://www.google.com/linux</a>)
|
|
but got hundreds of hits on The Gazette's 2cent Tips
|
|
from LG mirrors.
|
|
<li>LinuxHQ (<a href="http://www.linuxhq.com">www.linuxhq.com</a>)
|
|
would probably know, but their ht//dig database broke
|
|
when the webmaster upgraded, it's supposed to be fixed soon.
|
|
<li>Doesn't sound like he means the Linux KnowledgeBase
|
|
(<a href="http://linuxkb.cheek.com/"
|
|
>http://linuxkb.cheek.com/</a>)
|
|
<li>He couldn't mean <a href="http://howto.linuxberg.com/"
|
|
>http://howto.linuxberg.com/</a>, I don't think he
|
|
even knows the TUCOWS folks started up Linuxberg.
|
|
<li>Even the Mini-HOWTO's are a bit large to be "Tips and Tricks"
|
|
in my book (but you can check the LDP anyway at
|
|
<a href="http://metalab.unc.edu/mdw/ldp.html"
|
|
>http://metalab.unc.edu/mdw/ldp.html</a> to see
|
|
what you think).
|
|
<li>I tried Linux Links by Goob
|
|
(<a href="http://www.linuxlinks.com/"
|
|
>http://www.linuxlinks.com/</a>) which has
|
|
lots of great stuff, but the only hit on these two
|
|
keywords found a page for Chinese Linux users.
|
|
<li><a href="http://www.linuxpowered.com/"
|
|
>LinuxPowered.Com</a> looks pretty handy for Linux
|
|
newbies, but doesn't mention either word, since it
|
|
has clearer categories.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
So, I guess I can't say there's any "one true", definitive
|
|
Tips and Tricks site. I wonder what he meant??

And even more as i'm reading each month your column in LG and you're great.

I've learned many things with you.

That's good. Stale links are a bear.

One thing you could do is point to the Linux-TIPS
|
|
HOWTO (or mirror it at your site --- and link to
|
|
your own mirror), and provide a set of links to
|
|
to the Linux Gazette "2 Cent Tips" columns (and to
|
|
mine if you like). Since LG is under the LDP license
|
|
you can mirror the whole set if you like.

It would be <EM>really</EM> cool if you or some volunteers
|
|
went through the existing TIPS HOWTO and 2 Cent Tips
|
|
and Answer Guy back issues and indexed (and or quoted)
|
|
them into your organizational hierarchy. Granted, it's
|
|
rather boring scutwork (read, cut, paste, wrap in
|
|
HTML) rather than creative research and composition ---
|
|
but your readership will get a huge bang for their buck.

The problem with my writing (vis a vis the Answer Guy)
|
|
is that it follows no organization and is not sanely
|
|
indexed (not counting the search engines). So I've
|
|
written five or six hundred pages of useful stuff that
|
|
is inaccessible to many of the key people that need it
|
|
--- since they can't wade through all of the back issues
|
|
to find it.

My wife has toyed with the idea of doing a "best of" cut
|
|
and setting up a set of web pages devoted to it. If I was
|
|
making enough money (or got some funding) I'd pay someone
|
|
to do it.

Hmmm. I should provide a courtesy link from my column
|

to your site. I'm copying this to my lgaz and star
