Linux Documentation Project

The LDP originally began as an FTP site in 1992, but it went on the World Wide Web at MetaLab in 1993. the most recent update to an LDP guide was in March 2014. == Content ==

The LDP published many "HOWTO" documents that instruct a user on the specific steps to take to achieve a desired goal.{{cite web These goals are sometimes very specific, such as configuring a particular modem, and sometimes very broad, such as how to administer a network for an ISP. Very broad topics were covered in the guides, which are book-length documents, usually on broad subjects such as security or networking. The LDP also published Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) lists, man pages and other documents, as well as two webzines, the Linux Gazette and Linux Focus. Much of the LDP collection is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL). Many other licenses are also used, as long as they are freely distributable. Current policy recommends the GFDL. Linux Network Administrator's Guide is one book in the series. ==References==
