http://duggmirror.com/linux_unix/20_Must_Read_HOWTOs_and_Guides_for_Linux/ - geronimo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Linux offers many advanced features hence the howto's. Take the iptables howto. On your windows box, try doing half the things iptables can do for you. It can block TCP connections with 3 or more SYN packets per minute, useful for stopping ssh attacks. It can be used to create a gateway, router, firewall, you can block IPs, IP+port, redirect ports so all incoming port 80 traffic goes to 8080.. It's limitless hence a howto is necessary.
Try doing half of those things on windows and you'll sit there upside down with a fork up your ass. - sk3ptic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10anyone know what the hell this guy is talking about?
- glafira, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Not all must read but still a good read.
- addakorn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Bookmarked for later reading, I am too lazy right now.
- galador, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Ah, but you forget, there _are_ some people here on digg that don't use a Debian-based version of Linux, despite what the Front Page ratios would lead you to believe.
- bbatsell, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Guys, look through the parent's comment history. He's a troll.
- Durrok, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Wow Ted! Look at this! I'm REPLYING to your comment and it's below yours! Amazing! Oh and chill out, his comment actually had content to it and deserves to be dugg up.
- Hamsterpotpies, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Cool. Needed this.

hey. hey. who am i? "I think Education needs better PR than telling kids to read a book and do homework to get the most out of it"

? - stalefries, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I think he's talking about some files that got moved. :/
- MattElmore, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3man pages > howto
too bad the man pages on linux are terrible

Non-Free HOWTOs
sudo apt-get install doc-linux-nonfree-html - JeffDM, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2derxog, I think the problem is that half of those documents should not be necessary to get anywhere in order to use Linux. Why should Bluetooth even need a document? It shouldn't be hard. Something that's easy on the other two major OSs is apparently a lot harder than it should be under Linux if it's a must-have document. How about the document for gamers? It sounds as if things are made harder than it should be.
- lib24, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2all of it must be read but good read nevertheless
- paragonconcept, on 10/12/2007, -12/+1this is lame - why not just transfer the damn files from the pc ........
- JeffDM, on 10/12/2007, -13/+1I think Linux needs better PR than telling people they should read twenty documents for a user to get the most out of it.
