Il y a un stéréotype de technophiles arrogants qui regardent de haut les « petits nouveaux » (noobs ou newbies, en anglais), et ils ne mâchent pas leurs mots - vous en rencontrerez certains de temps en temps, en ligne ou dans la vraie vie ; mais c'est la vie. La plupart des experts de Linux que j'ai rencontrés essaieront de vous aider s'ils le peuvent, et c'est magnifique pour quelqu' |

Man pages used to be the foundation of almost all Linux knowledge transfer. Linux itself, and most of the applications in Linux, has man (short for ‘manual’) pages. I once had an issue with LILO, a common Linux boot loader (this was back around 2003), where something within LILO had gotten bollixed up enough that I could no longer boot into Linux.

- | At that point in time, I was dual-booting my system (as I usually still do), and most of my critical data lived on the Windows side of my computing life, but reinstalling Linux and its applications was still going to be quite a lengthy and tedious process that I was not looking forward to. I posted something online about the issue, and I got back a few responses that basically said haughtily, “Go read the LILO man pages.” Well, that wasn’t really practical for me, and, for many people, it would be even less so today. The man page would be a complete description of LILO, not the solution to a specific problem, or even solutions to a number of specific problems. They would not be practical for solving a specific issue. | + | At that point in time, I was dual-booting my system (as I usually still do), and most of my critical data lived on the Windows side of my computing life, but reinstalling Linux and its applications was still going to be quite a lengthy and tedious process that I was not looking forward to.

Given how much traction Linux has online in general, it will come as no surprise that there are almost endless resources available via Google search. You can search for answers to particular questions or problems, you can Google for general information on Ubuntu, Linux, or even Unix (most Unix information will still apply). You can also find a plethora of Linux tutorial information on YouTube, either via a Google search incorporating ‘YouTube’ in the search parameters, going to YouTube and searching directly from there, or, as often as not, by simply clicking the Videos tab in your Google search results, where you will usually find plenty of YouTube ‘hits’. We’ll also talk a bit next month about online forums, which will undoubtedly make up a significant portion of hits that you will encounter in most Google searches on Linux topics.
