Sources of free Linux installation support

• The Installation-HOWTO, also available via ftp from ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/howto. Many more HOWTO's are available.
• Matt Welsh's free book "Linux Installation and Getting Started". Several other free Linux books can be downloaded from the Linux Documentation Project as well.
• Your friendly local Linux User's Group (also try this list). They might be willing to lend you a Linux CD if you're lucky.
• For Laptop users: the Linux Laptop Home Page. It also includes a database of Laptop owners who are willing to help.
• The usenet newsgroup comp.os.linux.setup. Before asking a question there, you may want to check previous messages; they are archived at Dejanews.
• The irc channels #linpeople and #linux.
• The Linux mailing lists at Rutgers; for details, send an email message to [email protected] containing the single word lists in the message body. Previous messages are archived at Linux Headquarters.
