After some restructuring of the Linux Documentation Project (LDP) we feel ready to serve the Linux community from the new home http://www.LinuxDoc.org/ which we hope you will bookmark since this is where we will announce the latest developments to keep you updated. The LDP has collected and produced numerous documents such as - guides - HOWTOs and mini-HOWTOs - FAQs - man pages (excluding application man pages) and more. All in all the LDP endeavors to produce and provide a one-stop source of core information relating to the various aspects of Linux. There is now a search engine on the front page to help you quickly and efficiently locate the documents you need. If you have a question, chances are you will find what you need here. Note that manuals on applications are not included here; those usually come with the respective installation files. Also we provide an extensive set of links to sources of information that we do not produce ourselves. If you find we are missing important links we are happy to receive these through our link submission form. These documents are produced for you, the end users. That means if there is anything in the documents you find unclear, ambiguous or incorrect you should not hesitate in contacting the author. While the workload of the authors in general may be high and they cannot be expected to answer specific problems you may have on your machine, generally authors are only happy to receive feedback on the documents. Likewise, if you feel you have something to contribute or you wish to try your hand as an LDP author you are welcome to contact the LDP coordinator with your inputs (see the HOWTO-HOWTO). Remember that new documents are produced all the time so it is important to contact the LDP before you start writing in order to eliminate the possibility of duplicate work. Remember that you do not have to be on-line to read the HOWTOs, in many cases these documents are installed with your Linux distribution and can be found at file:///usr/doc/HOWTO /usr/doc/HOWTO/ most distributions file:///usr/share/doc/HOWTO /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/ some recent distr.
