Any thought to publishing in ePUB format?

Edward Morbius — 2012-05-18T00:19:02

I've been an Android user for a couple of years, and am starting to
explore ebook formats.

Looks as if ePUB is a/the leading open format contender.  It's very
readable on Android devices (with multiple readers available), not to
mention native readers for Linux and other platforms.

DocBook supports ePUB output:
http://labs.oreilly.com/2009/02/docbook-xsl-1dot74dot1-improves-epub-output.html

There are numerous online libraries which can be subscribed to through
eBook readers which would make content distribution/access more
streamlined.

I could grab sources (from your site or from Debian/Ubuntu, which
package the HOWTOs), but it'd be nice to be able to get the materials
straight off the Linux Documentation Project's website as well.


Thanks.

Good Evening,

I used to maintain the New Zealand mirror that resides at
http://mirrors.richardjmitchell.com/ldp.  This mirror is now very much out
of date.  The mirror URL has should now be
http://www.richard-mitchell.net/ldp and will be updated twice daily.

mirrors.linsrv.tk unavailable

Mike Guilmot — 2012-05-10T05:28:36

Dear,

I have to apologize for the domain to be unavailable. This has been so
since late afternoon yesterday.
Apparantly it has been decided that we had "abuse" on this domain,
even though all we ran were your mirror.
We have tried to contact dot tk, but nothing can be changed.

Therefor we won't be able to serve your mirror anymore via mirrors.linsrv.tk.

Good news is: late yesterday we registered our own domain: linsrv.net,
so we WILL be able to continue via the domain:

mirrors.linsrv.net

I am sorry that I have to bother you with this, but this was not
something that could have been planned, as we did not receive any
notice or warning whatsoever.

Hopefully you will not have to change too much in your system if you
are still in need of our mirror...

For the record: nothing else has changed. Still the same server, with
the same IP address, still the same administrator.

new versions of 2 guides available

Maciej Hawrot — 2012-05-09T10:38:43

Hello,

I'm writing to You, because I've noticed that on the tille.garrels.be new versions of two guides are available. "Bash Guide for Beginners" is Revision 1.12 when on Your site it is version: 1.11 and "Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide" is Revision 1.30 when on Your site it is version: 1.27. I've thought that maybe You should update Your database. Anyhow, thank You for maintaining Your wonderful site full of class documentation. Sorry for my English, I know it's not so good.

Mirror at ldp.wplug.org going away

Vance Kochenderfer — 2012-04-20T04:09:32

Hi there-

I'm an admin for the Western Pennsylvania Linux Users Group (WPLUG).
For several years now, one of our members has run an LDP mirror at
ldp.wplug.org.

Unfortunately, in the very near future he is losing access to the
resources he used to host it, and no volunteers have stepped up to
replace it.

I ask that you remove this mirror from your list.  Also, which of
the following options do you recommend we pursue (arranged in
increasing order of effort on my part :)?

1. Remove DNS entry for ldp.wplug.org
2. Point DNS for ldp.wplug.org to the main site or another location
3. Set up a temporary HTTP redirect from ldp.wplug.org to the main
   site or another location

Let me know, thanks.

Later,
Vance

tldp search bar

Thomas Feldtmose — 2012-03-20T17:30:31

Hey,

this is Tom from SymbolHound.com, the search engine specifically
designed for programmers. We search for otherwise un-googleable
characters (< at >#$%^&*, and so on) that are often found in code, and are
invisible to most web crawlers. We wanted to offer you guys the option
to have a SymbolHound custom search bar on your site in place of your
Google search bar. We would give you everything  that you need [for
free!], and this would provide more complete, useful search results
for your users.

Thanks for your time, I look forward to hearing from you! Let us know
if this is something you may be interested in.

Sincerely,

Disapointed

Ziah Preston — 2012-02-03T02:50:52

I breifly glanced over the article regarding why there werent more women in linux and after the first few paragraphs I was appalled at the weakness in the arguments.
 
Instead of citing points about differences in the brain and basically feeding more arguments AGAINST women being involved in CS the article should aim to point out what is wrong with these statements with realtime facts and examples. All im seeing is a bunch of bungee jumping from one claim against it to the next. For example, it should be more then outlined that the inventor of the first successful computer algorithim and thus the computer program, was infact female, her name Augusta Ada King also known as Ada Lovelace. She foresaw the use of such machines to go far beyond simple mathematical use and one of the few of her time to do so. Computers would not be the same without her work.
 
Incase im not being clear, what im trying to say here is that why you even pay attention to arguments about women being claimed "less capable" for mathemati

issues at all and our flight leaves tomorrow but we're having problems 
settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let us leave until 
we settle the bills. Please I really need your financial
