Someone posted a documentation question earlier and got a pretty good answer, but I'm still trying to figure out the best way to find things out.
I guess I'm a little spoiled by MSDN. For instance, if I want to know about file permissions, it would be Really Neat if there were a tool I could run and enter "file permissions" into a search box, and get a list of matching pages. I remember there used to be something called the Linux Documentation Project. I'm sure they must still be working on it, but even years ago there were more Howto's than you could shake a stick at. I kind of expected there to be a really cool downloadable manual by now. Maybe it's out there and I just haven't found it yet. I get the impression that the Mandrake people are holding out for some bucks, figuring people who won't pay for the OS might pay for the docs. That's fine if that's what they want to do, but there must be a mother lode of vanilla linux info out there somewhere. The stuff I downloaded from the Mandrake site was OK but a little disorganized and obviously incomplete. Could someone maybe give a road map as to where the Good Documentation is, and how to get it installed on one's machine? Or could some of you give some of your own tips on how you look things up? It can't all be word of mouth. --------------------------------------------- Introducing NetZero Long Distance 1st month Free! Sign up today at: www.netzerolongdistance.com
