Linux

I've found that there is an abundance of information on Linux on the web and an equally abundant number of people who know how to use Linux. What I haven't found is a single resource that bridges the gap for people who want to learn.

Most documentation that I've seen is pretty cryptic, and most authors - even though they say they're trying to write tutorial documentation - write pretty exclusively. Historically, the Linux community has been pretty exclusive and generally don't care about windows users trying to learn about Linux. This pisses me off because the usual reaction to a windows user is, "Read the documentation!", and if you don't get it, you're just out of luck.

Well, the docs frankly SUCK. They're written for people who are already Unix-proficient. While Linux has become quite automated and easy to install and use for the most part, the uninformed user is screwed if something goes wrong. On top of that, people don't know how to install programs or use the command line if they need to. People are left with basically just checking their email.

I'm going to post a group of tutorials on Red Hat Linux, going over all the important basics including installation, the file system, the command line, FDISK, and user accounts and restrictions. Then, I'll have detailed information on network configuration at the command line, what FSTAB is used for and other useful tidbits. I'll probably also add Apache httpd configuration and I'm sure I'll find more stuff to add.
