LINUX Links


If you plan to set your foot in LINUX world, out of the love for LINUX or due to hate for other OSs these links can come really handy for you. In the initial days you will need some assistance on basic stuff like how do I set up my WiFi, how to play Flash, or how to upgrade, update, how to change UNity to KDE & vice-versa. As time progesses you will be able to find your way out, but may need information on some esoteric issues like how to build application, do some kernel programming etc. All through the time, one thing is for sure. Access to GEEK community or otherwise called LINUX support group

Here are a few of them I constantly go to
