Linux Documentation Project - Linux Documentation Project The Linux Documentation Project (TLDP) began as a way for Linux hackers to share their documentation with each other and with their users, and for users to share documentation with each other. The LDP originally began as an FTP site in 1992, but it went on the World Wide Web at MetaLab in 1993. It is believed to have been the first Linux related website ever. Today, the LDP serves over 475 documents contributed by even more authors. About a dozen of them are book length, and most of those are available in print from major technical publishers including O'Reilly. The LDP publishes many HowTo documents, which instruct a user on the specific steps to take to achieve a desired goal. These goals.
Linux Focus - Linux Focus Linux Focus is a bi-monthly webzine covering Linux. It is part of the Linux Documentation Project, and a sister webzine of the Linux Gazette.

Linux Journal - Linux Journal Linux Journal is a monthly magazine published by SpecializedSystemsConsultants (SSC) of Seattle. The first issue was March 1994, and it has been monthly since. Linux Journal publishes articles on all levels of developing and using Linux and the software that runs on it, including everything from how to write device drivers to how to edit photos with The Gimp. Most articles are fairly technical, and it helps to have a working knowledge of C to get the most out of it. Linux Journal does run some user-level and business articles in every issue, and sections called Up Front and EOF tend to be less technical. The Linux Journal web site has some of the articles from the printed magazine, but most of the content.

The originator and current head of the Gentoo project is Daniel Robbins. One of the goals for Gentoo Linux 1.4 is the addition of the Gentoo Reference Platform (GRP) that allows users to install precompiled packages built to certain baseline specifications.

KDE - stood for "Kool", but was later changed to stand simply for "K," which is "The first letter before 'L' (which stands for Linux) in the Latin alphabet." According to the KDE website, "KDE is a network transparent contemporary desktop environment for UNIX workstations. KDE seeks to fill the need for an easy to use desktop for Unix workstations, similar to the desktop environments found under MacOS or Microsoft Windows." KDE was originally patterned after CDE, the "Common Desktop Environment." CDE is an older Unix desktop environment used by commercial Unix vendors, such as Sun Microsystems and Hewlett-Packard. Historically, the GNU project had concerns about the licensing of the Qt library, leading to their founding the GNOME Desktop project (and Harmony, a now-abandoned project to duplicate Qt). Qt was re-licensed to provide.
KDevelop - KDevelop KDevelop is a C and C++ IDE for the Linux (and other Unix-like) operating systems. The last stable release is 2.1 which is now declared obsolete. The successor, called "Gideon" (KDevelop 3.0), is a complete rewrite of KDevelop. It is planed to release it together with KDE 3.2 in February 2004. Unlike many other IDEs, KDevelop does not include a compiler, instead relying on gcc to produce executable code. The new version 3.0 ("Gideon"), is currently under development, and supports many more programming languages like Ada, Bash, Fortran, Java, Pascal, Perl, Python, Ruby and SQL..

Kernel - included in a shell, husk, or integument. The term kernel can also mean a single seed or grain, as "a kernel of corn". The kernel of an operating system is its essential component, such as the Linux kernel. In mathematics, kernel has several different, somewhat unrelated meanings; see Kernel (mathematics), or go directly to Kernel (function), Kernel (algebra), or Kernel (category theory). This is a disambiguation page; that is, one that points to various pages that might otherwise have the same name..
Verdana - all Macintosh and Windows computers. Being part of a "Web fonts" package that was downloadable for years from the Microsoft web page, most computers with Linux and other Unix-like operating systems have it installed as well. The font is generally regarded as the superlative font for on-screen reading, the primary purpose for which it was designed. Since it is installed on most of the world's computers, it is the obvious choice for the main text font for many major websites. Tahoma is a related typeface, that for all classification purposes is Verdana Narrow..
