LDP - Intro to the Linux Documentation Project, with help,
       guides and documents


SYNOPSIS

       The Linux Documentation Project (LDP) provides  a  variety
       of  free  documentation  resources including guides, FAQs,
       HOWTOs, and man-pages to the Linux community.


AUTHORS

       The various documents in the LDP archives  are  maintained
       by  individual authors, and are listed in the beginning of
       each HOWTO. If you have any questions or inputs to a docu­
       ment we encourage you to contact the authors directly.


WEB PAGES

       The  LDP  has its own dedicated web site as do many of the
       various translations projects which are  linked  from  the
       main LDP web site at
              http://www.LinuxDoc.org/
       which you may wish to bookmark.


MAILING LISTS

       LDP  has  a  number  of  mailing  lists,  mostly of use to
       authors:

       <ldp-discuss@lists.LinuxDoc.org>

       the installation
