userfriendly? For the click-and-pointers there's the EVMS GUI interface and the package offers an ncurses-based GUI for the intermediate system administrator. Of course, professionals do it with the
|
|
command line. Execution of volume management related tasks is explained using these three interfaces. Version 2.0 of the <a href="http://tldp.org/LDP/EVMSUG/html/index.html" target="_top">EVMS User

Guide</a> is still maintained by Christine Lorenz, Joy Godreau and Kylie Smith and certainly worth a check. Unfortunately there's no revision log, but we can see from CVS that a lot of chapters have

been updated.</span></li>

|
|
<p>John R. Daily <a href="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:5728:200311:cjacdkoodeefcahlogcd" target="_top">said</a> that there might be value to having small documents available as part of the
|
|
LDP library that describe key concepts like DNS, the TCP/IP protocol, init scripts, DTDs, shared libraries. The ones that have surely been described repeatedly so that new text need not be invented
|
|
in the HOWTOs. Martin WHEELER delighted and <a href="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:5737:200311:kbpdbbmeddmahbikkfbi" target="_top">asked</a> if someone could setup a wiki somewhere, one page
|
|
per WHATIS. David Lawyers <a href="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:5747:200311:claiepedajakajhoajgg" target="_top">opinion</a> was that there should be a WHATIS co-ordinator and a way to handle
|
|
many of these WHATIS documents.</p>
