LQWiki:Accepted Section Discussion

See Also: Section_Request for proposing a new section  Section_Discussion is where somebody will move your section if it is already implemented, or to specific for the main page.

Purpose: This lists the discussion surrounding the inclusion of a page into the home page... Plan: When a topic is added to the home page as a result of the suggest sections page discussion, remove said discussion and paste it here as not to clutter.

"Installing Linux" seems to be conspicuously absent. I think that would be one of the first things a novice would look for. I imagine the topic would branch off into specific instructions for each of the various distros.

A confiuration section would be nice, rather a configuration file section. Outlining how files like fstab, passwd, et al, work.

Hardware
How about a section on hardware. A place to let other know about what will work or not work. I have been playing with an old Zaurus that I got off ebay aand could have used a couple of pointers on the little things that go with it. I learned at least one thing not to do!

Hardware Compatibility

Kernel and Hardware Configuration
Try linking this page under the kernel section... Kernel I have a proof-of-concept mini Wiki - you might take a look to get ideas (copy and improve whatever you like) for the structure. It was supposed to be gentoo-specific but the design is pretty generic.
