 Documentation 


The Linux Documentation Project (LDP) is working on developing good, reliable documentation for the Linux operating system. The overall goal of the LDP is to collaborate in taking care of all of the issues of Linux documentation, ranging from online documentation (man pages, HTML, and so on) to printed manuals covering topics such as installing, using, and running Linux. Here is the Linux Documentation Project Manifesto and Copyright License for LDP works.

For translations of LDP works and documentation in languages other than English, have a look at the "Non-English Linux Info" links page.

You can search the LDP documents from our search page.

Linux Documentation Project Guides:

Note: The LDP guides have moved to their own page.


Linux HOWTOs:

The Linux HOWTOs and mini-HOWTOs are detailed "how to" documents on specific subjects. The HOWTO index lists all HOWTOs and mini-HOWTOs along with short descriptions. The HOWTOs are written in SGML, and translated to different output formats using SGML-Tools.

Join the LDP announcements mailing list for news on HOWTO updates.

In the list below, single page means that each HOWTO is available for viewing, in its entirety, on one HTML page. The default for viewing online is for the HOWTO to be split into multiple page(s; usually one HTML page per section).

PostScript and PDF copies were created using the universal size specification: 8.27x11in(210x279mm).

  • HOWTOs

  • mini-HOWTOs

  • Other items of interest (provided by other people):

  • Here is a set of lists of all the various HOWTOs sorted by last update/modify date, filename, etc.


Linux Man Pages:

The Linux man Pages (version 1.31) for sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 9 are available here (with some translations). Section 1 and 8 man pages (i.e., user commands) are available with the corresponding software packages.

You can also get the latest man page information, including links to translations. You can email Andries Brouwer (aeb@cwi.nl) if you would like to help with, or have comments on the man pages.
