Linux HOWTOs are documents which describe in detail a certain aspect of configuring or using Linux. For example, there is the Installation HOWTO, which gives instructions on installing Linux, and the Mail Administrator HOWTO, which describes how to set up and configure mail under Linux. Other examples include the Net HOWTO and the Printing HOWTO. HOWTOs are comprehensive docs - much like an FAQ but generally not in question-and-answer format. However, many HOWTOs contain a FAQ section at the end. There are several HOWTO formats available: plain text, PostScript, PDF, and HTML. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Chapter 2. Where Can I Get Linux HOWTOs? HOWTOs can be retrieved via anonymous FTP from [ftp://www.ibiblio.org/pub/ Linux/docs/HOWTO/] ftp://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/ as well as from many [http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/MIRRORS.html] mirror sites around the world. Please use a mirror site if possible. You can also browse HOWTOs in [howtos.html] HTML format or grab [http:// www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html/ Linux-html-HOWTOs.tar.gz] Linux-html-HOWTOs.tar.gz for viewing on your own workstation. The files will be extracted into HOWTO/. Other formats can be accessed from the HOWTO [http://tldp.org/docs.html# howto] documents page of the LDP. Many [http://tldp.org/mirrors.html] mirror sites mirror the HTML files. tldp.org is heavily used, so please use a mirror site if possible. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Chapter 3.
