This is the Debian GNU/Linux 'doc-linux' package. It provides the current Linux-FAQ, written by Ian Jackson and now maintained by Robert Kiesling , as well as the current Linux HOWTOs, written by several authors and coordinated by Greg Hankins . This package was put together by Colin Watson from the sources at ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO and ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/faqs/linux-faq. Its previous maintainers were Ian Murdock, Dirk Eddelbuettel, and Marco Budde. Additional documents have been taken from the following sources: * High-Availability HOWTO: ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/ALPHA/linux-ha/ * ext3-usage HOWTO: http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/ext3/ext3-usage.html * ext3 mini-HOWTO: http://www.symonds.net/~rajesh/howto/ext3/ Other changes made were: * Some relative hyperlinks were converted into absolute links to documents on www.linuxdoc.org. * Added the Debian package maintenance system.
