"http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/index.html" target="_top">Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Guide</a> (v0.65). This guide now has updates to describe the changes incorporated by

<li><span class="rss:item">Peter Jay Salzman sent in the v1.0.2 of the <a href="http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Linux-Gamers-HOWTO/" target="_top">Linux Gamers HOWTO</a>. The document contains descriptions of

available games on Linux, an overview of gaming libraries, information about your X settings in order to obtain optimal graphics performance, and details on audio configuration.</span></li>

tricks for the do-it-yourself reader.</span></li>

target="_top">Linux Cluster HOWTO</a> and v1.62 of the <a href="http://tldp.org/HOWTO/DPT-Hardware-RAID-HOWTO.html" target="_top">Linux DPT Hardware RAID HOWTO</a>. This last one had a slight name
|
|
change to better reflect that it is focussing on the DPT RAID controllers - even though the information is fairly applicable on other RAID cards as well.</span></li>
