Details about LTT (Linux Tips & Tricks)

While reading Linux documentation, I always find some niece pieces of stuff, some little hacks and I always think they would be useful to me one day or another.
But I never found what to do with them, so I was just storing them, very inefficiently.
One day I decided to put everything on-line, with classification, follow-ups and such....

YOU CAN READ HERE ALL TIPS I COLLECTED

You will mainly find tips I read on debian-* mailing-lists, but feel free to suggest more. My aim is not to be exhaustive, but to provide easy access to tips.

Everything is made with the wonderful WML package and a personnal perl program to put all correct follow-ups. That way all my tips are in a standard format written without bothering with HTML and appearance, and I apply a template to all of them when I'm adding some new pieces. If the number of tips become too big, I'll eventually switch to a real database.

Please note that I've no time to verify all urls and things like that, so I just rely on what I read (the pages are only tested to be Lynx-compliant). If you find something in error, please warn me for the benefit of all other users.

I've also no time no verify each tip !! Don't blame me if something goes wrong after you applied one tip present here.

During the automatic pages updates, links could be wrong. In that case, just wait few minutes, and everything should be ok.

All the tips are provided with the kind permission of their authors.
Please don't reproduce them or LTT without giving proper credit.

Because I haven't find a way to put emails without fear of robot-collection of emails, for now, no emails of authors are displayed, even if they are recorded in my database.
