Southend on Sea Linux User Group Wiki Site.

At last Southend Linux User Group has it's very own wiki site and can, if call demands have its own forum also. But this will very much depend on the success of this Wiki site for that to happen.

The first place you can start looking for an answer is http://wiki.soslug.org/wiki/All the content generated by our users are all deposited in this location in a table format. You can also visit our main howto pages at http://soslug.org/howto the catalog covers a broad spectrum of support issues within Linux to help you adapt and help you be productive. Other places that you can obtain support are the "howtoforge" at http://www.howtoforge.com, this site holds many howto with screenshots much like our own.

This site http://soslug.org and it's sister site http://wiki.soslug.org are not owned by just one person they are owned by all it's members, as such the members of the SoSLUG club can dictate how the sites are used and managed.

In order to add any content to this site you will need to register, you may add any content you feel relevant about Linux or its associated applications.

What is a Wiki? Perhaps some of you already know, well read no further this section is not intended for you but the poor souls that don't.

Several characteristics of wikis facilitate their multiple author capability.
