Linux tips, tweaks, articles and information

The version of Linux used for a tip or article is listed, but don't just look at the tips for the version you use. See which group your linux belongs to read the tips and articles for that group. Also bear in mind that there is the KDE and Gnome desktops, so a tip or article about KDE often applies to all distros running KDE, and similarly with Gnome. All types of Linux are related of course, and there are lots of similarities, even between very different versions. Seeing a tip for a different version of linux might give you enough information to enable you to modify it slightly for your own version.

Here are a few linux groups, go to Wikipedia for a fuller list:
