2. Where Can I Get Linux HOWTOs?

HOWTOs can be retrieved via anonymous FTP from the following sites:

• ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO
• ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/docs/HOWTO

as well as many mirror sites.

You can also browse HOWTOs in HTML format or grab All-html-HOWTOs.tar.gz for viewing on your own PC. The files will be extracted into HOWTO/html/.

Many mirror sites mirror the HTML files.

metalab.unc.edu is heavily used, so please use a mirror site if possible.

HOWTOs are also posted towards the beginning of the month to the Usenet newsgroup comp.os.linux.answers. There is a tool called NewstoHOWTO that will assemble the postings.
