Timeline of LTT
PAST TIMELINE
- 02/06/1999: LTT should be mirrored at http://linuxkb.cheek.com/LTT/
- 24/05/1999: Update, 36 new tips online ! Sorry the NEW/Updated stuff is totally messed up this time.
- 21/03/1999 : (long awaited) Update (153 tips online).
Zdnet asked me to include my tips in their linux section.
We were unable to achieve a compromise, so they won't be.
Tobias Manthey sent me a scan of a German magazine (C't) talking
about Linux (here is the scan). They are saying
"Still under construction, but always worth a visit are the "Linux Tips and
Tricks", sorted by theme"
I definitively will appreciate some help. If you have some free
time...
- 7/02/1999 : (long awaited) Update (137 tips online). Yes i know
only 9 new tips, but many things are planned : some Askslashdot tips will
be incorporated soon, it's planned that all past tips in Linux Gazette
will be incorporated, I have another good source I will have to check, Tobias
Manthey reported that LTT was appeared in German C'T magazine (thanks to him
i add a scan of the article, it should appear soon here)
Note also that now LTT has its first mirror in Italy (the URL will be
included soon), thanks to Michel Morelli.
If you want to set up a mirror of LTT, please DO SO, but AFTER telling
me your intention to do so, and after we manage to arrange things.
As written on the main page, LTT is starting to put too much load
on my ISP bandwidth, mostly because too many people are using web grabber
like wget to grab all pages. It's useless since i provide all tips in a
.tar.gz file anyone can take, and dangerous since if nothing changes,
i will add to close LTT, which will be a Bad Thing (TM).
So please don't start a mirror before asking me.
Also, please note that, if you want to help you're welcome.
You, of course, can send tips. But, especially if you're reading a lot
Usenet, or if you are a RedHat or Slackware user (I'm a Debian one), you
could be in charge of adding new tips. That could lead to more tips and more
often.
So all help is appreciated. Just send me a private email, and we will
arrange things.
