</FONT></H2>
<P>In all likelihood, this book will only be the beginning of your Linux voyage. You’ll find that there’s a sea of Linux information available—both on the Internet and in the print world. Your job will be to keep your head above water as you dive into these resources. Our emphasis here will be on Internet resources, because they are the ones you’ll find most useful.
</P>
<H3><A NAME="Heading2"></A><FONT COLOR="#000077">Internet Resources</FONT></H3>
<P>Linux is a big topic on the Internet; a recent search on the Alta Vista search engine yielded 200,000 Web pages that mention Linux somewhere. Even when discarding the Web pages created by undergraduates who tinker a little with Linux, you’re left with an amazing number of Web pages that cover Linux in some depth.
</P>
<P>We’ve done a little editing for you and compiled this assortment of interesting Linux-related Web pages. Naturally—this being the World Wide Web and all—most of these pages spend a lot of time pointing you to other Web pages, which in turn point you to even more Web pages. Still, by beginning with these pages, you can significantly expand your Linux expertise.</P>
<H4 ALIGN="LEFT"><A NAME="Heading3"></A><FONT COLOR="#000077">The Linux Documentation Project</FONT></H4>
<P><I>http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/linux.html</I></P>
<P>The home page of the Linux Documentation Project is an important source of Linux information and archived software; virtually any aspect of Linux usage and configuration can be found here. This is a page to be placed prominently in your Web browser’s bookmarks list. You can search through the Linux Documentation Archives by connecting to <I>http://sunsite.unc.edu/architext/AT-Linuxquery.html</I> or <I>http://amelia.db.erau.edu/Harvest/brokers/LDP/query.html</I>.</P>
<H4 ALIGN="LEFT"><A NAME="Heading4"></A><FONT COLOR="#000077">Linux.Org</FONT></H4>
<P><A HREF="http://www.linux.org/">http://www.Linux.org/</A></P>
<P><I>Linux.org</I> is a user-driven group dedicated to—surprise!—Linux.</P>
<H4 ALIGN="LEFT"><A NAME="Heading5"></A><FONT COLOR="#000077">Walnut Creek CD-ROM</FONT></H4>
<P><A HREF="http://www.cdrom.com">http://www.cdrom.com</A></P>
<P>This is the online repository of Slackware; you can grab updated versions of Slackware from here.</P>
<H4 ALIGN="LEFT"><A NAME="Heading6"></A><FONT COLOR="#000077">The Linux Applications and Utilities Page</FONT></H4>
<P><A HREF="http://www.xnet.com/~blatura/linapps.shtml">http://www.xnet.com/~blatura/linapps.shtml</A></P>
<P>Bill Latura maintains this excellent list of Linux applications and utilities. Unlike the Linux Software Map (see below), the applications are listed by category, making it much easier for browsing.</P>
<H4 ALIGN="LEFT"><A NAME="Heading7"></A><FONT COLOR="#000077">The Linux Software Map</FONT></H4>
<P><A HREF="http://www.boutell.com/lsm/">http://www.boutell.com/lsm/</A></P>
<P>This site attempts to match your software needs with what’s available in the Linux world.</P>
<H4 ALIGN="LEFT"><A NAME="Heading8"></A><FONT COLOR="#000077">The Linux FAQ</FONT></H4>
<P><A HREF="http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/iwj10/linux-faq/">http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/iwj10/linux-faq/</A></P>
<P>This site contains the most up-to-date version of the Linux Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).</P>
<H4 ALIGN="LEFT"><A NAME="Heading9"></A><FONT COLOR="#000077">The Linux Configuration Page</FONT></H4>
<P><A HREF="http://www.hal-pc.org/~davidl/linux/linux.config.html">http://www.hal-pc.org/~davidl/linux/linux.config.html</A></P>
<P>This page combines installation and configuration tips from a wide variety of users. These are the folks who have successfully installed and configured Linux on a vast assortment of PCs, and if you’re having trouble with Linux on your no-name clone, you may want to check to see if someone else hasn’t already invented that wheel.</P>
<H4 ALIGN="LEFT"><A NAME="Heading10"></A><FONT COLOR="#000077">The Linux Laptop Page</FONT></H4>
<P><A HREF="http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/">http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/</A></P>
<P>This page is similar to the Linux Configuration Page; it takes the experiences of many users and condenses them into a very useful guide to installing Linux on a wide variety of machines. Because it’s a little harder to get hardware information about a laptop (i.e., what chipset is used for graphics) and some of the laptop components can be, well, a little fussy (check out the following Web listing), this page is essential for anyone wanting to run Linux on their laptop. Of similar interest is the Linux and X Window on Notebook Computers home page (<A HREF="http://www.castle.net/x-notebook/index_linux.html">http://www.castle.net/X-notebook/index_linux.html</A>).</P>
<H4 ALIGN="LEFT"><A NAME="Heading11"></A><FONT COLOR="#000077">Linux PCMCIA Information</FONT></H4>
<P><I>http://hyper.stanford.edu/~dhinds/pcmcia/pcmcia.html</I></P>
<P>Dave Hinds is a virtual god in the Linux community. Why? Because he’s taken on the topic of making Linux work with PCMCIA ports, which are found mostly on laptops. PCMCIA ports are for those credit-card-type adapters (such as Ethernet and modem), and even in the mainstream community PCMCIA support isn’t all it should be. Still, thanks to Hinds’ Card Services for Linux, you can generally make a PCMCIA port work. We’ve included Card Services for Linux on the accompanying slackware CD-ROM; here’s where you can go for more information.</P>
<H4 ALIGN="LEFT"><A NAME="Heading12"></A><FONT COLOR="#000077">The XFree86 Project</FONT></H4>
<P><A HREF="http://www.xfree86.org/">http://www.XFree86.org/</A></P>
<P>When you installed X Window on your Linux installation, you were really using XFree86, a version of X Window optimized specifically for the Intel architecture. This is the home page of the effort.</P>
<P>If there’s one thing about the Web, it’s always changing. If you want to generate a more current list of Linux-related home pages, check out the Alta Vista Home Page (<I>http://alta.vista.com</I>). Alta Vista is a searchable database of Web pages across the world.</P>
<H4 ALIGN="LEFT"><A NAME="Heading13"></A><FONT COLOR="#000077">Slackware Mirrors</FONT></H4>
<P>The Slackware distribution of Linux is maintained at the <I>ftp.cdrom.com</I> site, in <B>/pub/linux/slackware</B>. At this site, you can grab the latest version of Slackware (although you shouldn’t do this too often; you should upgrade in response to specific needs, not just as a general practice).</P>
<P>This is a busy site, however, so you may want to check out a mirror site. A <I>mirror site</I> contains the same Linux files as does the <I>ftp.cdrom.com</I> site, and they’re updated regularly. In addition, as a good Internet citizen you should use the FTP site closest to you, keeping in mind that most of these sites are maintained for the use of local users, not global Internet users. (By the way, <I>ftp.cdrom.com</I> is in California.)</P>
<P>Table A.1 lists the sites known to mirror the Slackware Linux release.</P>
