Hello Ally,
This is indeed an area you can help with. Look around for a project, and when
you find one to your liking get in touch with them and find out where you can
help out. As you pointed out, docs are always an issue. No viable project will
ignore offers for help.
It could be worth you

There are quite a few good sites on this subject. I'm not guru but I get
by in Linux (occasionally I get confused and write Nortel DMS commands
in the terminal but that's just standard insanity).
I have a good simple backout/backin plan if it blew up!. I'm not overly

Gotta give Microsoft kudos where it's due, setting up active directory, group
policies and domain functionality is a walk in the park compared to Linux.

With all due respect, LDAP is nice and all and is quite versatile and

However, as much I am a hardcore BSD/Linux user, m$ active directory

this. I wont go into all the technicals, using Linux for LDAP

As a relative newcomer to Linux, I was at first somewhat put off by the

No: as others have explained at some length and more politely than perhaps
me, it's childish. If you prefer: it isn't big, and it isn't clever.

I agree with Stuart I have had a lot of experiences of Linux users slating
windows or calling it windozes and stupid names, And you are right it does make
people unwelcome. Linux and windows both bring something unique to the table
both have there pros and cons. linux for the server side and win

Windows 7 is easy to deploy on a mass scale if you utilise technologies such as
