Hoster's perspective on Linux administration



Welcome to the Ultimate Linux Newbie Guide!

At all times, you can navigate through this web site, using the buttons at the top of the screen. Just click on one of the 10 chapters in the Chapter Guide to begin.

If you are completely new to Linux, I suggest starting on Chapter 1 : What is Linux?


If you want a more in depth description of what each of the chapters are about before you embark on reading them, then have a look here.

The Linux Newbie Guide is always a work in progress, To see all of the latest developments on the site and in the Linux Community as a whole, please have a look here.

Al, The webmaster has comprised a few things that would be useful as a reference, or to print out. Check here to find out what certain Linux commands do, and how to build a kernel and (soon) much more! In addition to the standard chapters, we also provide Hot Topics which are quick, easy tutorials on getting the sort of stuff most new users to Linux want to do, IE: Connect to the Internet, Burn a CD.

If you want to suggest something to the webmaster, or you have a problem that's not being answered on the forum, don't be afraid to write to Al!
