I discovered this morning that I had run out of saved notes for this blog, so I went online to do some learning and exploring in Linux. There is NO END to all one can learn. It didn’t take me long to find my way from my bookmarks to this page;

www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/HOWTO-INDEX/howtos.html

After scanning down that list of how-tos I clicked on five or six, and explored them a bit. Just now I’ve been busy reading up on DocBooks. I still have a lot to learn, but I find it interesting.

For today I think I’ll just leave you with a few good “where to find help and tutorials” links.

The above one of course, is a great starting point.

You should also put the Google/Linux search site on your toolbar. This is where Google favours us with more specific linux search results; www.google.com/linux You’ll need it often!

Even if you know nobody else who is using Linux on their computer and you think you’ll never learn without someone leaning over your shoulder and telling you step by step what to do, you really are never alone once you learn how to seek out help online.

If you have only one computer, and only Linux on it, I can see where if you get locked out of your system, you are stuck because you have no way of going online to look for helps in troubleshooting. However, if you have a dual boot, you can go into the other system (ie. Windows) and go search from there. Or go on another computer and search from there. As long as you have those two options, the answers are out there. Guaranteed. You just have to learn how to find them!
