The Linux Information Project

Very, cool site. I have used it before, and it is nice to see someone posted it! As a meta note, if you are into this type of thing, I have created a couple screencasts along the same lines:<p><pre><code> Crash Course on the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard [1] Crash Course on Common Commands [2] Hard and Symbolic Links [3] </code></pre> [1] <a href="http://sysadmincasts.com/episodes/12-crash-course-on-the-filesystem-hierarchy-standard" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;sysadmincasts.com&#x2F;episodes&#x2F;12-crash-course-on-the-fil...</a><p>[2] <a href="http://sysadmincasts.com/episodes/13-crash-course-on-common-commands" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;sysadmincasts.com&#x2F;episodes&#x2F;13-crash-course-on-common-...</a><p>[3] <a href="http://sysadmincasts.com/episodes/16-hard-and-symbolic-links" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;sysadmincasts.com&#x2F;episodes&#x2F;16-hard-and-symbolic-links</a><p>There were also many great threads on HN about UNIX commands:<p><pre><code> Unix Commands I Wish I’d Discovered Years Earlier [4] Useful Unix commands for data science [5] Favorite Unix Commands [6] Top Unix Command Line Utilities [7] </code></pre> [4] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6360320" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=6360320</a><p>[5] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6046682" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=6046682</a><p>[6] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5022457" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=5022457</a><p>[7] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4985393" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=4985393</a><p>Cheers

Could anyone comment on how this compares to The Linux Documentation Project &lt;<a href="http://tldp.org/&gt;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;tldp.org&#x2F;&gt;</a>? It seems like there&#x27;s a lot of overlap in objective. Why was it necessary to create a competing project (if it is competing) rather than combine effort on expanding TLDP?

This is just an example but i feel the same for all the pages i browsed.<p>Maybe it&#x27;s just familiarity on my part, i know man pages so i feel more comfortable? Not sure, i just know my eyes were scanning for a synopsis section!

Absolutely love this site. It&#x27;s incredibly well written, informative, and on point.

&quot;Linux is a high performance, yet completely free operating system&quot;<p>Of course switching to Linux is fresh if you are running Xnu or Ntoskrnl.exe, but you&#x27;re gonna need an OS on top of that:)<p>Just to avoid confusion, e.g. about Android, which is using Linux, but is obviously not free, it could be a good idea to start calling things their proper names.<p><a href="https://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gnu.org&#x2F;gnu&#x2F;linux-and-gnu.html</a>

I&#x27;m sorry, but &quot;easily accessible information&quot; doesn&#x27;t equal wall of text. If we want Linux to become more popular with the general population we have to make more user friendly sites. Walls of text just manage to scare non hackers away.

I thought this is a historical site posted for some nostalgia value.<p>Is this actually a website from 2013? Wow.
