I've noticed that a lot of the links in the first post are broken - pointing to the old www.murga.org site.

Any chance of getting them updated?

Okay, I just did a find-replace on the domain names, so they should work now.

This should be the first post people read after the welcome message. A very nice collection of useful links.

This is a great list of very useful resources, however I think it is more a list of resources, rather than 'for beginners'.

I suppose it depends on how you define 'beginner', but I would suggest it be changed slightly to get 'absolute beginners' who just want to get up and running in Puppy, off to a good quick start.

Idea

My suggestion would be to change the red 'First' to 'Second', and add a new red 'First' with simply this link to point 'extreme' and 'absolute' beginners to the basics that they need to get up and running with Puppy, otherwise they could suffer from info overload before they get anywhere.

katahdin, the search on this forum is a great start as well as PuppyLinux Wiki. Both of these have saved me tons of time finding things spread all over the internet.

In addition to the web resources, you might mention a few books such as Kernighan and Pike, The Unix Programming Environment; and Bruce Blinn, Portable Shell Programming.

regarding the problem of putting this post at the front of the beginners help forum.

In the "Additional Software" section there is a separate panel for two sub subjects (eye candy and games).

So can it not be done here as well. Moving the sticky posts in to their own panel at the top of the beginners help forum.

You just need to "discuss" which posts should be there Smile

No, not possible. Subsections can get a separate panel, and announcements can get a sort of separation within the main panel. Stickies just get to be sticky.

Hi,

This might help you. I've been digging around and here's some info for you by authors that are far more experienced than I am:
