post useful websites

[hercun]

As I was reading through my thread, and other threads aswell, I realized that everyone has some really useful links. I think that everyone should share any useful links that they have (regarding linux in some way) and post them here.

Heres a few that I thought were really good

[jsundquist]

I know this is off the topic of this thread but I am curious to find out as to why linux-tested.com shows that pretty much everything works with Red Hat but nothing seems to work at all with Mandrake. Could this be because they havent tested anything with Mandrake or some other reason.

I have ready many times over on this board that Red Hat and Mandrake are almost one in the same. So if this is true why doesnt most everything that works with Red hat not work with MDK.

[sharth]

its probably what they tested with.

although both dsitros do add patches to the kernels that they release.

I would just like to say that this website has been the 2nd most helpful website dealing with Linux to get me started with actually using Linux. I'm no longer just tweaking settings, but actually using Linux thanks to this website. (1st most helpful being justlinux.com!)

If that's the only place you buy clothes from then you'd be going around with no pants on, seeing as how they only sell t-shirts. Please tell me you wear pants! :p

Not all that useful really but I like these 2 sites that seem to get overlooked quite a bit.

linuxmail.org (http://linuxmail.org) - Free linux friendly webmail. It even has it's own forums and calendar options amongst other things. You can also pay for an account for extra benefits.

kmfms.com (http://kmfms.com) - Another free Linux friendly e-mail provider. They also have a (small) list of "This in Windows = This in Linux" programs. They have a few other cool things on the site as well.

And of course...

slashdot.org (http://slashdot.org) - Obviously!

And distro watch (http://distrowatch.com) - I'm sure most people know about this site but it's definitely a good source for distro information. Good place for newbies to start as well.

[Suramya]

Hi Everyone,
Here are some sites I find useful:

1. Linux Gazette (http://linux.suramya.com/gazette): A good online magazine on Linux which tries to make linux a little more fun. Has lots of good articles etc.

2. Rute Tutorial (http://wwwacs.gantep.edu.tr/linux/rute/): A great online tutorial for everyone.

3. Linux Software Encyclopedia (http://stommel.tamu.edu/~baum/linuxlist/linuxlist/linuxlist.html): Has a big list of Linux software.

4. Firestarter (http://firestarter.sourceforge.net/): A free firewall tool with a greal UI.

5. iftop (http://www.ex-parrot.com/~pdw/iftop/): Tool to display bandwith usage on an interface.

6. Devshed.com (http://www.devshed.com/): The opensource development site, it has great articles and tutorials.

More of my favorite links are listed at my site: http://hotlinks.suramya.com. They are too many of them to list them all here...

Hope someone else finds these useful.

I'll put in another word for the FreeBSD handbook, even for Linux users. Many of the basic unix philosophies and strategies are explained in detail there. There are some BSD specific sections, but overall it is very helpful. Linux users wouldn't automatically check it out, so I thought I'd give it another rec.

Go to:

that would be packages.debian.org for the current "real" Debian packages.

or www.backports.org for the backported stuff that actually works.

For those that have never been to www.apt-get.com before, it contains packages that aren't officially released by Debian, like Mplayer, Transcode, and DvdRip!

And unlike other sites, it doesn't just give you packages to download, it gives you links for your sources.list file. That way, you can "apt-get install" it like normal, and apt-get takes care of all the dependencies for you!
