2 Resources 2.1 Where do I get to know more about Linux? General: http://www.linux.org/ The mother of all Linux sites. Linux.org has a class on Getting Started with Linux on their site an excellent resource for those new to Linux. The Mandrake Campus has an excellent course for users of Linux Mandrake. Documentation: The Linux Documentation Project at http://linuxdoc.org/ Debian users can check out Havoc Pennington's
Debian tutorial
it's a bit old but still relevant News: Linux Today , The Linux Weekly News , and Slashdot Software: LinuxTucows , Freshmeat , and Rpmfind Usenet: There are various newsgroups
that deal with both Linux in general and specific distributions. Mail: There is a huge archive of mailing lists at GeoCrawler Search: Two excellent sites for searching on Linux related issues are 1st Linux Search and Google These are just the tip of the iceberg, but should be enough to get you started. 2.2 Where do I get to know more about KDE? The best place to to get information about KDE is at kde.org and by checking out the documentation. In most Linux distributions this is in a sub folder under /usr/doc(note in some of the newer distros this has been moved to /usr/share/doc). You might also want to check comp.windows.x.kde. 2.3 Where do I get to know more about GNOME? Start at the top http://gnome.org For a very polished and easy to install version go to www.ximian.com 2.4 What about books on Linux? Get at least a couple of books I highly recommend Linux in a nutshell. The other book should probably be about the distribution you are going to use. For example the RedHat Bible, Slackware Linux Unleashed, Learning Debian GNU/Linux, or Sams Teach Yourself Mandrake Linux in 24 Hours 2.5 What about this UNIX thing I keep hearing about? Online: Unix Introductory course offered here and the FAQ for comp.unix.questions located here . SAMS publishing has an online version of
Unix Unleashed
it's a bit old but still a good read. (and after having seen that you will laugh at the size of this FAQ :0) You can purchase it online at several stores Or you can download an iso image and burn your own copy Linux iso
