UNC Linux Users Group

["Douglas A. Whitfield" <whitdoug AT email.unc.edu>]

I don't know how many people are on the CTC list, but there's an interesting conversation going on there (starting to die) about open source software in general.  The message below I thought would be of particular interest to the LUG.  It's worth noting that Greg is the Knowledge Management Manager over at help.unc.edu if you don't know him.  He's a Linux user, but I'm not sure if he's on the list.

Definitely.  The documents in the Help site are primarily for 
UNC-specific instructions and we try to make sure they are actively 
maintained.  LDP is a better place for general Linux docs.  We can also 
easily strengthen campus instructions with links to the relevant LDP docs.
Moving documents between the two systems is painless as both use the 
same nifty DocBook format.
