Linux Knowledge Base FAQ
What is the Linux Knowledge Base?

The Linux Knowledge Base, or Linux KB for short, is an archive of Linux HOWTO's, various technical documents, mailing lists, and newsgroups. It is indexed and searchable so that you can find information quickly and easily. The most common searches are also presented as options from the home page.

We have a complete list of documents in our archive. You may also give us feedback. We are especially interested in knowing when you search for something but do not find anything relevant.

Is the Linux KB a free resource?

The Linux Knowledge Base will continue to exist as a free resource! Thank you everyone for your input. We will be producing CD's for offline searching of the Knowledge Base, but charge only minimally for them. CD's can be duplicated and distributed as long as they are reproduced in their entirety with no changes.

Is there a way to search without using a web browser?

Yes. There is a command-line client called kbquery available via ftp at ftp.cheek.com. It uses Lynx, but is faster than going through netscape or some other GUI browser. Additionally, a CD will be available shortly to allow KB searching without a net connection.

How do you pay for this? Is advertising available?

Advertising offsets some of the costs of maintaining the KB, and we expect revenue from CD sales to help also. Cheek Consulting does commercial Linux support, so we don't mind putting up a great resource for others -- look at what Linus and others have done for us!

People or companies wishing to sponsor and / or advertise on the Linux KB can contact Joseph Cheek for more information.

I would like to help. What can I do?

We need, most of all, pointers to great Linux resources on the net. If you know of anything that you want to see added here, please let us know. We will reciprocate the assistance by providing links to your site, or free CD's when available.
