Ask HN: Is there an updated/new version of TLDP HowTos?

2 pointsby recvonlineabout 3 years ago
I was looking for a way to &quot;get into Systems Programming&quot; by following some tutorials. A friend of mine, a seasoned systems programmer, recommended just following a few HowTos to get familiar with Linux and some real world know-how.<p>He forwarded this website: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tldp.org&#x2F;HOWTO&#x2F;HOWTO-INDEX&#x2F;howtos.html.<p>The HowTos are from between 1995 and 2004. I wonder if there is a newer resource out there which is more related to current implementations I can follow?

I loved TLDP and it was key for me coming up in Linux. I&#x27;d say the closest thing now is the Arch wiki (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.archlinux.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.archlinux.org&#x2F;</a>) . On Arch the user chooses really everything after the package manager, so you&#x27;ll find good, clear doco on whatever combination of tools your distro uses.<p>If you&#x27;re looking for help with package managers, you&#x27;re stuck with the distro&#x27;s own documentation. :)
