What's All the Buzz About Linux?

Linux Journal: Linux Journal magazine maintains a web site that is a great starting point, with all sorts of links to Linux-related topics.
Debian Project: Here is the place to find out about Debian GNU/Linux, the distribution I use and recommend. Why? Because Debian is both technically sound and politically correct.
More Linux Links: In the spirit of the World Wide Web, rather than duplicating information available elsewhere, here are some links to pages that I find interesting and useful. Enjoy!

Installing Debian GNU/Linux 2.1

The section below on Debian 2.0 (hamm) is fully fleshed out, stable, and very long-in-the-tooth. This section on Debian 2.1 (slink) consists of a work-in-progress

Building a New Linux Box (slink)

which is now approaching the beauty of the hamm exposition. There are also some rough notes from way back when slink was released.

Installing Debian GNU/Linux 2.0

With the recent release of Debian 2.0 (hamm), I've put up my own step-by-step instructions for Installing Debian GNU/Linux 2.0.

There are several documents available to help you with the installation but I found that, as a general rule, they include way more information than I need.

What I've done is hack my personal installation notes into HTML in the hope that they will make life easier for someone.

``Safe'' Linux (hamm)

Interested in trying Linux but afraid to so much as sneeze at the hard drive that harbors your fragile Windows setup? Got a ZIP drive? You're in luck.

With only a couple of caveats the instructions for Installing Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 can be used to Install Linux on a ZIP Disk, boot from a floppy, and never touch your hard drive.

A fully configured Linux system (sorry, no X-windows, and the kernel source won't fit) will fit on a single ZIP disk just fine. You can boot up Linux, connect to the net, send and receive e-mail, etc., etc.
