1.4 Additional Documentation
Apart from the specific NLD documentation that is available
from the NLD
documentation home page, check the following resources for
additional open source documentation on Linux:
- SLES Installation
and Administration Guide
- This guide offers you indepth information on typical
server-related configuration issues. Find it on the SLES
documentation home page.
- Package Documentation
- Almost every package shipped with NLD comes with
its own documentation. To check out a package’s documentation,
always turn to /usr/share/doc/packages/package_name.
The bare minimum you could expect to find there is a readme file,
but most packages ship with quite comprehensive documentation, often
even including example scenarios or ready-to-use configuration examples.
- Project Home Pages
- Check out a project’s home page for additional
documenation, screenshots, examples, and often even a mailing list
for users and developers of the project. Even just browsing the archives
of these lists often proves valuable.
- The Linux Documenation Project
(TLDP)
- Volunteers from all over the world and from all
kinds of projects through the open source world have contributed
to a large database containing various kinds of documentations ranging from
mere mini-HOWTOs and quick references to full-blown guides. See
the TLPD web site for
more information.
