Linux documentation can be found in man pages, info files, HOWTOs and FAQs, and elsewhere. (For example, also the kernel Documentation directory contains a lot of good stuff.) A nice index for the man pages in Fedora Core 2 is found at the superman site.

Man pages belonging to programs are usually distributed together with those programs. Therefore, the Linux man-pages distribution mainly contains the pages for system calls and library routines, special devices, and file formats.

However, it also contains documentation for a number of programs, in cases where the authors or maintainers of the program do not distribute man pages themselves.

Dpsyco is a automated system to distribute system configurations to several computers. It is written mainly for the Debian distribution but should be portable (without too much difficulties) to other distributions or Unixes as well.
It consists of a number of shell scripts to perform the desired actions. With it you can handle users, add ssh-public-keys, patch the system, update things using cfengine, install files (overriding other package files), and more.
Main features:
- Handle users.
- Handle groups.
- Handle ssh access.

Emilda is an Integrated Library System that features an OPAC, circulation and administration functions, Z39.50 capabilities, and 100% MARC compatibility.

MARC compatibility is achieved using the Zebra server from Indexdata in conjunction with MySQL. Emilda is mainly written in PHP, but Perl scripts exist for MARC manipulation and shell interaction.

KateBuild is mainly a modification of the make plugin in kdeaddons. The main features of this plugin:
-Set the working directory for make
-Specify the make command
-Chose an extra target
-Specify a Quick compile command for the current file.
-Run the make/make target/quick compile.
-The parsing of the make output is more complete then the make plugin.
When run, the output of make and the compiler (tested with gcc) is parsed an a list of errors/warnings is generated. When a list item is chosen, the file containing the error is opened and the cursor is set to the line of the error/warning.
Enhancements:
- fix crash when trying to run two builds at once.
- add a break command to cancel a running build.

ArahPaint4 is a textile-oriented paint program, mainly for jacquard. It is a simple paint program for raster palette images.
It has good tools for drawing images in repetition, support for handling palette images (color reduction, substitution, protected, transparent colors), contour tools, layer support, unlimited undo/redo, support for drawing in aspect ratio (pixels need not be square), a two level grid, and a coordinates display.
The project is simple, stable, fast, and works well on large images (>8000x8000).
Main features:
- it has good tools for working with reduced color images (palette)
- for color reduction
- for drawing in repeat
- for drawing in aspect ratio different than 1:1, as this is necessary for weaving
- works well with large images (8000x8000 and more)
- incorporates a nice image browser
- has unlimited undo/redo
- has keyboard shortcuts equal to Photoshop whenever possible
- has a couple of functions you will not find in any other program
- lacks thousands of functions some other programs have

Python-LDAP provides an object-oriented API to access LDAP directory servers from Python programs. Mainly it wraps the OpenLDAP 2.x libs for that purpose.

Additionally the package contains modules for other LDAP-related stuff (e.g. processing LDIF, LDAPURLs, LDAPv3 schema, etc.).

Configuration HOWTO would be the main documentation for configuring most common hardware and services.

This document is one of the most important for LDP, because by configuring hardware and software you can get your own Linux box. This HOWTO was born in the Golden Age of developers, mainly for the command line. As it became too big and old for the current distros, I rewrote it more simple as I could.

Fundamentally, to configure the system, Linux users have to write some configuration files. To do it easyer, today programs and wizards are avaliable to manage them. This programs may be quite different for the various distributions.

In this HOWTO, I will speak about Mandrake-Linux and about Red Hat.
