Fantastic posts everyone:

The following list is what I derived by trying parse through these posts and pull the ones that looked to be the best topics / most asked for topics:


  • Local Area Networking (file sharing)
  • Squid
  • Systeam Maintenance
  • Meta-Packages
  • Third party repos
  • Unsupported hardware
  • linux - windows equivs
  • Top 10 terminal commands (beginner, intermediate, enthusiast, expert)
  • How to install non-deb software
  • xchat v. pidgin
  • terminal basics
  • remote access (ssh, vnc, RDP)
  • Encryption (whole disk, partition, directory)
  • What is root
  • Virtualization (how to live w/o Windows)
  • Firewall (UFW, Firestarter)
  • Backports
  • Sound configuration

I will be trying to 'recruit' experts to give IRC sessions for these as well as trying to determine if there are existing resources.

Keep the ideas coming.
