docs

this repository is a collection of documentation on various things i've learned over the years using desktop and server linux.

its topics range from simple package management information to detailed explanations of certain mechanisms.

these documents occasionally link to various places. if your system supports them, the following links should work properly:

  • https: - https (opens in a web browser)
  • man: - "man" manual pages
  • info: - "texinfo" information pages
  • .pdf - portable document format

style

all documents attempt to conform with the following:

  • spelling follows Canadian English conventions
  • only capitalize proper nouns and acronyms; do not capitalize the first letter in a sentence, do not capitalize the word "i"
  • do not use periods in acronyms, including the time acronyms AM and PM
  • a single period followed by a single space must always represent a separator between two sentences
  • long date format is as follows: 10 Nov 2012, 13:14:15.162 UTC
  • short date format is ISO 8601: 2012-11-10T13:14:15.162+00:00
