Welcome!

The WaikatoLinuxUsersGroup is a community of [people|Category:HomePage] who use and advocate [Linux] and [OpenSource] software.

The beginner documentation on our site is aimed at WLUG members, but is offered to the general public.  Remember, if you don't think something is written well or correctly, edit it.  The Wiki is editable by anyone and you don't need to sign up.

This is the first in a series of pages that will be created to act as a 'tutorial' to HOW to learn Linux and how to ask questions - it won't actually address learning Linux; that's what the rest of the Wiki (and the web) is for!

In the meantime:

* We have a category of pages that are good for learners: CategoryBeginners
* The WaikatoLinuxUsersGroup presented some UnixTutorials to under-graduate students at the university (notes are online)
* We have some WellThoughtOutReasonsToRunLinux.

External links:

* [NewbieDoc|http://newbiedoc.berlios.de/wiki/Main_Page] is a project to write good documentation and howtos for newbies to Linux (focusing on the [Debian] distribution)
* [RUTE|http://rute.2038bug.com/], the Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition, is an excellent introduction (and a RecursiveAcronym to boot)
