Ubuntu users?

philologos

want to help me out in making an Ubuntu Wiki on the boards.ie biki.
http://boards.ie/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu

I was hoping on laying it out as follows, Ubuntu Linux then a list of solutions to Ubuntu problems thats are contained elsewhere in the wiki, if anyone would like to help me make this wiki I would much appreciated it as I have only been using Ubuntu for a few months now.

if you have solved any problems in Ubuntu please post them in the wiki and then post a link to you work here so I can add the link to the solutions section of the Ubuntu wiki section.

Thank you,
Jakkass

please sticky if this gets enough interest

Is this kind of reinventing the wheel? I'd just use ubuntuguide.org or wiki.ubuntu.com.

Khannie

Have to agree with Stephen there. I think it's better to keep useful information like that centralised.

Blowfish

Yeah I don't see the point really. The only reason I can think of for having it, is to use it as a place to link to the threads of the previous problems that have appeared on boards.

philologos

thats what I was going to use it for but meh seeing as there isn't much interest in it it can be deleted

I made a half-assed merge/rewrite/expansion. I didn't bother with wiki links or external links though.

[wiki]Board:Unix[/wiki]

I agree with the sentiments of Stephen above that there is no need to reinvent the wheel, but I don't know of any non-specific centralised resource for unix-like systems out there. The page has some potential to be just that, but there needs to be lots more done with it.

I think doing what blowfish said (links to threads discussing ubuntu issues) will be a good idea.
