Linux/Unix Help |
| I quickly found out that coming from a DOS and now Windows background
that I was stumbling in the dark in trying to set up a Linux system. I knew about
enough to log on the to a Unix system. Here are some of the sites I have visited in
trying to research Linux and Unix. W. M. Richards, a principal software engineer at Honeywell, Inc.,offers this report on Linux. Mr. Richards is a software developer with 24 years of experience overall,seven with HP products, four with Linux. At the time this was written he was working for Honeywell's Industrial Automation and Control division,providing software tools support for Apollo, HP, and NTdevelopers. Red Hat may be my Linux version of choice, afterall they were one of the first to put Linux on CD and in a box for guys like me and they are from North Carolina. Here is the Red Hat On-Line Support. The University of North Carolina has some very good Linux support as well. You can also download the Linux operating system as well as utilities, etc from UNC's Sunsite. Here are some Linux help pages from Carolina's MetaLab. At some point you may need to bott a machine under Linux but don't want to go through a complete installation. If that's the case, grab the most Linux on 1 floppy disk. Might be good to keep as an emergnecy disk. Join the Piedmont Linux Users Group mailing list here. Download a version of rwfloppy.exe that runs in the windows enviorment. A perl script to make a boot floppy Here are some other Linux help areas I found interesting:
