Linux bookmarks...

These are mostly really ancient and there may be a lot of dead links here. I just added a couple things in 2018, but most of the links here are from 2004 or earlier (so 15 years old!)

Linux internals, debugging, and monitoring (new)

• Julia Evans is a Linux blogger with a lot of useful information. She’s got some PDF ’zines, mostly about Linux debugging and monitoring. (new)

Politics

• An interesting Slashdot comment on how a nontechnical computer user feels about using Windows versus Linux, and why a Mac user switched to Linux and open-source tools. The last part (about an artist switching from Mac to Linux) is a pretty telling argument for Open Source (although it's really about apps rather than the OS).

Miscellaneous

• Information on using a mouse wheel under Linux (written for Mozilla) is in the Mozilla 0.6 release notes.
• DOS emulation on Linux HOWTO
• Plex86 is an open-source PC emulator that runs under Linux, somewhat akin to VMware.
• Getting animation support (Quicktime, AVI, etc.) under Slackware
• kernelnewbies.org is the home page for the #kernelnewbies IRC channel, and also has general information on the Linux kernel.
• Kernel Shoot-Out: 2.2 vs. 2.4, at thedukeofurl.org.
• linuxprinting.org has lots of information about printing under Linux; if you're considering buying a printer to use with Linux, this would be a good place to start.
• Loads of Linux Links
• Want to burn Warriors of the Net onto a Video-CD and play it on your VCD-capable DVD player? Then you need some tools for Making Video CDs under Linux.

Linux on mobile devices

• handhelds.org has information about Linux (and other free Unix clones) on palmtop computers, mainly (but not exclusively) the HP iPAQ. (Some of the iPAQ software is binary-compatible with the Sharp Zaurus, as well.) It's hosted at HP.
• TuxMobil.org used to be MobiliX.org until the idiot holders of the trademark Obélix (the cartoon character) complained. Yeah, I can see how a trademark MobiliX having to do with computer software could easily be confused with a cartoon character called Obélix. Anyway, it's about Linux (and Unix) on mobile computers, mainly laptops but also PDAs and wearables. It also addresses communicating with non-Linux mobile hardware (such as cameras or phones) with Linux.

Infrared support

• Installing the IR Dongles on Linux in http://ninja.cs.berkeley.edu/docs/. This describes how to set a Linux box up so you can sync a Palm to it with IR, or beam memos and appointments to it.
• The Linux IrDA project at Sourceforge.
• TuxMobil.org, mentioned above, includes IrDA information

Web forums

• The official Slackware fora at http://www.userlocal.com/phorum/
• LinuxPackages.net forum (Slackware-oriented)
• Léa: Linux Entre Amis (Slackware forum in French)
• LinuxPro Nederland Slackware forum (in Dutch)
