The Linux-Training Project: Linux Training v2 released

Linux-Training site updated

The Linux Training web site was updated earlier this week – Linux Training is Paul Cobbaut‘s training book project. No fancy new flash website, just some simple pages, with some links to the git repository with the Docbook source code, the download page and some more stuff. I should add a short introduction about how [...]
