Newbee friendly Linux help & documentation searchengine or site ?
I have been using Linux for now 5 years & still manage to find documentation from few to many years ago which give answers to questions/problems users still now have .... such as "How to mount NTFS partition" or "Maximum disk-through-output" or "DSL-Howto" - each with lots of interesting info & things to learn. I am not suggesting that penguin-newbees or anyone should or must read the friendly/fine/f... manual but that access to these should be really easy & user-friendly. On forums like linuxquestions.org there are tons of users again & again asking the same or similiar questions. I know tldp.org exists but it seems more like an archive than a user-friendly place of quickly finding an answer to a problem (i aint dissin tldp ... its a huge amount of lovely info). So after many irrelevant words : Is there a user-friendly site or searchengine which takes its info from Linux-sites all over the web giving quick answers to problems ? ... ___________________________________________________________ How much free photo storage do you get?

The closest thing I know of would be either grokdoc or http://www.google.com/linux On 8/18/05, Winston Graeme <winstongraeme@yahoo.co.uk> wrote:

Yeah ... I know ... thx 4 reply. Thankyou Google :-) . The thing is with more & more people taking to Linux the efficiency & easyness to find an answer/solution hasn't increased. Many years ago when I was still loving the customasationability of Windows 98 those using Linux expected having to look for answers or just experimenting to find an answer ... but there will be Linux users especially now with greater numbers .. users with no huge intention/time/or knowledge to search in Forums & sites for an answer for a long time.(I know some things dont take long but I think you (mailinglist-penguins know what I am trying to explain) Okay a bit of an overstatement but the average computer-user (Win/Tux or Mac) does not expect to edit config files or apply strange patches ... its either an easy quick fix or it must be broken ... just to elaborate with many words on my previous posting. BTW yolinux is another gigantic rescource of Information but again not user friendly. Maybe these contextual search capabilities of KAT will be useful for such a thing...... too many words . :-) Post Scribbles : I'll look up grokdoc Thanks . ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
