This story is not about liberalness, it's about a levy and the EU court ruling. The country comparison is like comparing apples to oranges. I'm an ex UK citizen who now lives in the Netherlands and you couldn't be further off the mark sir.

Webfaction is also good if you want to run a no hassle Django installation. I initially got an account when I was learning Django and there weren't many Django friendly shared hosts out there. I have kept it to this day as their hosting panel is still pretty useful. They also have a bunch of automatic installs for rails, cherrypy, pylons, pyramid, subversion and trac etc. I've since moved on to do it myself on VPS but I still think Webfaction offers something different with their "framework" application approach.

Debian Handbook 14 years ago

Thanks! I don't know if I could fix all the grammar, but the spelling nazi in me wants to correct those mistakes for sure.

Maybe the PDF is designed for smaller screens . It looks better on an iPad or android tablet. I used the .mobi instead to wipe out the font anguish. ;-)

Reading the PDF version now. So far my main criticisms are:

Pretty ugly font for a manual.

Translation is a little iffy, bad spelling, bad grammar and strange sentence structure.

Graphics and diagrams are quite lossy and low resolution.

It could definitely do with another proofread or three.

But If you can get past these things it seems pretty thorough and has plenty of good info in there. Hopefully none of it was lost in translation.

I also donated and am happy to finally see it out there especially under creative commons.

If you google "ubuntu tour" with the fake firefox, you can get there, and then go deeper and deeper within each instance.

Well I thought it was fun anyway.

Linux Fundamentals 15 years ago

If you look a bit more closely you'll see that is not just an article on a website but a wiki powered by mediawiki. As such it is not that suited to design customisation especially the type of design you are referring to. That being said I would argue this sort of guide or reference is much more readable in a plain unembellished format. Content is king in this instance.

What's unfriendly about gnome and KDE? I've been running Linux Mint now for a couple of years as my primary dev machine in a windows network and the gui is top notch. Personally I find the OSX gui conventions a little screwy and awkward.

True, a PC with Linux on it is even better than a Mac.

Best editor ever.

I have tried literally every single one over the years. Considering it's made by a single developer development speed is breathtaking and he is always open to suggestions on the Forums.

I was a little wary of the new version after using ST1 for so long, but have finally switched and project management is now a breeze where it used to be a little clunky. Go to anything also rocks.

A++++
