"Many of the things I've listed here are well known to long time
Linux users, I'm hoping that those who are just starting out, or
are considering the switch, can find a few useful resources for
making your system work the way you want. Linux is meant to be
tinkered with, there are examples and how-tos everywhere. With the
extensive guides and forums available to everyone, you don’t
often encounter a problem that hasn't been seen and blogged about
by now. There are also quite a few things already built into a
Linux OS that are there to help you get the information you
need."
