Linux is one of several freely available
operating systems.
Jim also has some
more verbose comments about Linux.
Some of the handier HOWTOs
(not exhaustive)
-
Linux High Availability HOWTO (Linux HA)
Clustering for failover and robustness
Configuration HOWTO - lots of common options
Keyboard and Console HOWTO
The Linux Sound HOWTO: Supported Hardware
BootDisk HOWTO because having boot floppies is good

you just need a translator
Mini-HOWTOs for mixing Linux with
-
Win95 or another using
Loadlin
FreeBSD
WinNT
DOS & Win95 & OS2 or other multiple combinations
Of course it's usually worthwhile to check the HOWTO Index:
