Online Support Sections

5. Online Support Sections

These sections are typically found at the websites of Linux distributions, and often contain a variety of helpful documents with information not easily encompassed within a FAQ. Look for sections with one or more of the following titles:

  • Installation Support

  • Knowledge or Solutions Databases

  • Tips and Tricks

  • Errata, Fixes and Updates

  • White Papers

  • Technical Guides

  • Hardware Guide or Compatibility List

  • Security Information

Some websites provide a site search engine that will facilitate your quest for a solution.

If you have a problem with a newly installed distribution, look here first as bugs and their fixes are typically posted here. You may find a detailed guide that will help you accomplish a task such as upgrading your kernel or the version of the XFree86 X - Window System you are using.

I recommend you spend some time at the website of the distribution you are using, familiarizing yourself with what is available.
