"Introduction to..." Documents
This week we've created a new document category at the LDP, beginning with
five documents from Jenn Vesperman of
LinuxChix.
Jenn's documents are introductions to basic computing subjects, and unlike most
LDP documents they are not unique to Linux. In fact, they do not cover the details of
any operating system or application, but instead they focus on the underlying concepts.
They should be very helpful for people who are newbies not only to Linux but to
computing itself. We hope to publish more documents like these in the future.
These documents are listed at
