The Linux Documentation Project (LDP) is working on developing good,
reliable documentation for the Linux operating system. The overall
goal of the LDP is to collaborate in taking care of all of the issues
of Linux documentation, ranging from online documentation (man pages,
HTML, and so on) to printed manuals covering topics such as
installing, using, and running Linux. Here is the Linux Documentation
Project Manifesto and
Copyright License for LDP works.
For translations of LDP works and documentation in languages other
than English, see the "Non-English Linux Info"
links page.
You can search the LDP documents from our search
page.
Note:
The LDP guides have moved to their own page.
The Linux HOWTOs are detailed "how to" documents on
specific subjects. The HOWTO
index lists all HOWTOs along with short
descriptions. The HOWTOs are written in SGML or XML, and translated to
different output formats using
SGML-Tools (Linuxdoc DTD)
or the DocBook/DSSSL tools.
Join the LDP
announcements mailing list for news on HOWTO updates.
» HOWTOs (available formats; updated: 20100728)
» Notes
In the list below, single page means that each HOWTO is available
for viewing, in its entirety, on one HTML page.
The default for viewing online is for the HOWTO to be split into
multiple page(s; usually one HTML page per section).
The stated tar package sizes are approximations.
PostScript and PDF copies were created using the
PA4
paper format (210 x 279 mm, 8-1/4 x 11 in - the width of ISO A4 and
the height of U.S. Letter).
We have heard of instances whereby the Adobe
plug-in for Netscape or IE may have trouble reading
the PDF variants. If so, save the file(s) to your hard disk
and open them from the desktop - see if that resolves the problem.
In some cases, when downloading compressed files
with/through a web-browser, the
browser will actually perform the decompression (gunzip)
automatically, BUT the saved filename will still have
the .gz file extension. If you run into problems when
trying to gunzip the file, this is probably the case.
Move the file to "filename minus the .gz extension"
and the problem should be resolved.
If you have problems downloading or using these packages, contact us
(feedback@en.tldp.org).
» additional HOWTO-related items:
We now offer all HOWTOs and FAQs in the
Plucker DB format, viewable
on your Palm device. Plucker generators and viewers are free
software/open source software, released under the GPL. You
can get the Plucker software, including source code, at:
http://www.plkr.org/. These documents can be accessed from the
pluckerdb directory.
MemoWare
PDA Document Repository contains some
HOWTOs and
mini-HOWTOs
in AportisDoc format (for PalmPilot users).
HOWTOs Tamer, provides menued access to HOWTOs. A collection of lists of
the HOWTOs sorted by last update/modify date, filename, etc.
For your convenience, we archive snapshots of the (English language)
