Linux links of the week


For people who are very new to Linux, there is the Linux Primer. Covering topics like logging in, basic commands, and shutting down, it is a good starting place for those who otherwise don't know where to begin.

At the opposite end of the technical spectrum, we have a white paper on reiserfs, the in-development file system mentioned in this week's kernel section. Included here is a fair amount of detailed design information, benchmark results, and more.

Feedback and corrections


Craig Goodrich sent us a copy of his response to the critical "Compunotes" article we reported on last week.

We did finally get a reply from Linux International regarding the whole Linux trademark issue and the LSA. They confirmed that events were essentially as we had reported them last week. The LI did not ask the LSA to stop using the term "Linux," only to stop challenging its trademark status. Meanwhile, LI has an attorney writing a document on the proper use of the Linux trademark; it should be available shortly.
