Dear Wayne,
thats great, but i think there should be solid
documentation with video tutorials or atleast external links to video
tutorials on WE. There are thousands out there, all we have to do is
to create a central data mart for the conglomeration of these
resources. There are linux forums and other documentation for
technology related issues, but here we intend to give a starter's
guide to linux that is comprehensive and also paves the way for future
learning through solid base.
