LDP − Intro to the Linux Documentation Project, with help, guides and documents
The Linux Documentation Project (LDP) provides a variety of free documentation resources including guides, FAQs, HOWTOs, and man-pages to the Linux community.
The various documents in the LDP archives are maintained by individual authors, and are listed in the beginning of each HOWTO. If you have any questions or inputs to a document we encourage you to contact the authors directly.
The LDP has its own dedicated web site as do many of the various translations projects which are linked from the main LDP web site at
http://www.LinuxDoc.org/
which you may wish to bookmark.
LDP has a
number of mailing lists, mostly of use to authors:
<ldp−announce@lists.LinuxDoc.org>
Announcements from the LDP project
<ldp−discuss@lists.LinuxDoc.org>
General discussion on the LDP project
To join these lists send a mail with a body of "subscribe" to <ldp−announce−request@lists.LinuxDoc.org> or <ldp−discuss−request@lists.LinuxDoc.org> respectively. These mailing lists are also archived at the LinuxDoc site.
Most
distributions include the HOWTOs and mini-HOWTOs in the
installation
/usr/share/doc/ (most documentation is here)
/usr/doc/ (possibly some documentation here)
/usr/share/doc/HOWTO/ (used by some recent
distributions)
man(1), xman(1x), info(1)
