Thank you to Harsh(QwertyManiac) for helping in compiling and arranging.

And have a look at this too Linux Links and The MOST EXHAUSTIVE list(s) on Linux S/W.
It's in the other sticky too but I don't really see people reading that one.

[vasulic]

thanks, tech

[~Phenom~]

thanx mehul .

[Sparsh007]

Cld you also give one For slackware

[QwertyManiac]

Sure spashy, that distro didnt come to our mind while making this.

Here you go, an addition

Slackware Linux

1. LQ Guide

Thats all I could find, if you have some links people, add it in this format :

Distro :
Logo [Optional] :
Official Site :
Guide Link :
Description [Optional] :

@tech_your_future - No problem, thanks Just thought that if a guide looked good all would atleast refer it

[mehulved]

OK I have added a few links for slackware.

[Sparsh007]

thnx a lot

[optumsprime]

nice one

[praka123]

Good Work There t_y_f

[eddie]

Kudos to you on creating a really helpful topic for lots of people.

...but that gentoo icon looks a little jagged . Could you please change it to some better one? I am attaching one if you don't want to go through the trouble of searching for it

you mean, the oldest living GNU/linux distribution didn't come to your mind?? thats scary. Sure this due to the low media hype that has surrounded slacky ever since.

Nice topic by the way. Ill tell mehul if i find any interesting links.

[mehulved]

Nothing like that. It just skipped my brain since I haven't used it since a long time. But, it will always remain as 'The Distro' that made me move towards Linux.

[JGuru]

Great job @Mehul . It should be definitely helpful for all Linux users.

[azaad_shri75]

very very good move, all in one place, good help for novices and experts in equal.

[desertwind]

You can take up a few links, if not already, from my sticky thread.

How To Ask a Question Here

[mehulved]

Sure riyaz I will add the links from that thread, which I have missed out so far.
@prakash and anybody else, if you'll have a few links on some how-to's for Debian please give them out.

[praka123]

@tech_your_future:the Debian GNU/Linux Desktop Survival Guide by Graham Williams can be read online.this is a comprehensive guide.
http://www.togaware.com/linux/survivor/
Also not to mention Debian Wiki
http://wiki.debian.org/
http://www.aboutdebian.com/
http://www.aboutdebian.com/linux.htm
www.debian-administration.org/
http://debian.wgdd.de/howto/

besides debian itself contains many manuals including Newbiedoc

[mehulved]

Debian links added and links to mailing lists for various distros added.

[techtronic]

Simply Stunning Post

[mehulved]

Added a link for extra repos for Ubuntu Edgy Eft. I hope it will come useful for edgy users.

[praka123]

@techurfuture:you should add a link about FreeBSD,root of all *BSD distros.
www.freebsd.org

[mehulved]

I will add it as I get more time and more useful links. If you have got a few more links please post them them here. I will add them to my post so it can be maintained in one post.
I will try to add ,maybe, Solaris too.

[kalpik]

^^ Adding the complete source list is a bad move IMHO. Its very likely to cause breakage! Instead, you can link to ubuntu source-o-matic here: http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic

[mehulved]

Doesn't it give the same thing?

[kalpik]

NO! There is a LOT of difference! The complete list has a LOT of crap! Also, source-o-matic tells you about each repo it can add. So you can select the repos YOU need.

[mediator]

Here's the complete guide for different distros

[praka123]

ubuntu unofficial repos die and reincarnate sometimes.for eg;plf repos;so i suggest u should follow ubuntu forum's edgy repo news for details.
http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=41

[vignesh]

Very nice guide I also like to add linuxquestions.org , distrowatch.com and for new users try this podcast
