Here is a post I made to this laist a whoile ago that several folks emailed and said they found useful. Maybe you will too. >From a post in the archives: On Thu, 2002-12-05 at 15:01, chris sherwood wrote: <snipped> > finally ummm... not to sound stupid but where is the documentation located > for redhat? Now that is a good question and is answered in the docs:) seriously, Early on , after being intimidated by these guys with such a wealth of knowledge and experience I bet I have spent as much time looking for documentation as I have spent reading RELEVENT documentation. Depending on the topic under research I usually try the following: man command man -k command info command /usr/[share/]doc/packagename # the share came in in rhl 7.0 I believe if I am unsure what package a command is in i will do a rpm -qf $(which command) then possibly rpm -qd $(rpm -qf $(which command)) redhat's site has links to several excellent resources including books written by redhat employees that are chock full of stuff. Several redhat howtos as well I can;t count the number of times I have refered folks to the kernel upgrade one. Web sites for the package under research is high on the list. PHP and postgress come to mind easily. I will usually hit a number of these before googling at google.com/linux BTW the cached versions of the googled websites have the search terms highlighted. Very cool. I am sure there are more and perhaps this should be continued on another thread since I have not seen a discussion about where is the best place to find the FM that people are always telling me to read :) HTH Bret > -----Original Message----- > From: redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] > On Behalf Of jurvis lasalle > Sent: Friday, October 10, 2003 10:27 AM > To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: Another newb question.
