How do I get Linux® documentation?
Linux documentation can be found in many books that have been written about various distributions or "flavors" of the Linux operating system. Some of these books were selected to serve as textbooks for classes taught by professors who provide additional documentation in the form of textbooks that they chose. The Linux online communities and the official website dedicated to a specific distribution provide Linux documentation, and most distributions offer electronic documentation by incorporating it to install compact disks (CD) or digital versatile disk (DVD). Manual pages, more commonly known as the "man" of the site, provide extremely important documentation about programs and instruments and are included with almost every version of each distribution.
There is a difference between the official and unofficial Linux documentation. However, the unofficial version does not necessarily have to be lower or less complete than the official, which are provided to all the supported or fee systems for the production setEdí. You could even say that Linux documentation is provided at work in a shell, also known as a console -based work, because the help is almost always available simply by entering the help command for specific Linux commands. One of the best sources for up -to -date information on the progress of written documentation for distributions in different languages is the Linux Documentation Project (LDD) project.
Books written on a specific distribution are generally considered to be the best non -electronic offline sources for Linux documentation for various reasons. These books, if comprehensive, not only provide information about what programs and tools are available, but also provide information about the Linux operating system in general. Many of these books even provide installation CDs or DVDs offering documentation in electronic format. This is especially useful for new users who need to understand very differentNo concepts of Unix -based systems. Written instructions and explanations usually accompany photos of screen images to follow step by step instructions.
The official website and online technical assistance communities for specific distributions are excellent Linux documentation sources because the website reflects important information published by the distribution developer. This information is vital for writing accurate documentation. Online technical assistance communities are composed of computer programmers, experienced distribution users, inexperienced users and people who have experienced strange problems and found solutions for them. Such a number of users means that you will probably find documentation not only for any distribution issue, but also for tips and tricks to solve problems with hardware compatibility, network connection, security and software installation.
