GNU/Linux Einsteiger? (german)

Wenn Du ein GNU/Linux Einsteiger bist, besuch doch einfach mal die Seite linuxeinsteiger.net (german). Dort gibt es viele hilfreiche Tipps rund um Linux und auch eine sehr nette Gemeinschaft. Auch der IRC channel #linuxeinsteiger.net auf euIRCnet ist wirklich sehr zu empfehlen. Ich habe dort bisher nur hilfreiche Menschen gesehen... ;)

This Site?

I really care about, that the HTML code conforms to the HTML 4.01 strict definitions. Sometimes it does not at all but I will fix errors at some time. If not, you could send me mail but when I am busy I don't care about. The CSS code I am using is not valid! I am thinking much about the semantic of the HTML code so design is not important. If you are using a Mozilla based browser like Firefox, you will see the site rendered with best results.

This site is making use of the work others. Some bytes i am using are:

Johnny Cash?

Yes! And Highwaymen too!

DRM?

Defective By Design!"Wow starts now"? It's more like "Ow starts now", as consumers start to learn what they will lose by choosing Vista.

DefectiveByDesign has been campaigning against DRM since last May. In that time, consumer and media awareness of the restitrictive technology has increased and consumers have largely turned against it. Even the music industry is contemplating dropping it. Yet even against the growing anti-drm chorus, Microsoft is launching the Vista Operating System which, aside from some new bells and whistles, and an increase in base hardware requirements, is largely a platform for DRM, designed to serve Big Media companies more than individual computer users. Vista represents a step backwards in users' freedom, it is an "upsell" not an "upgrade". While user's rights will be trammeled by the DRM and Treacherous Computing features of Vista, the collatoral damage will be environment as users are forced to abandon perfectly good hardware to meet the new requirements of Vista, generating tons of e-waste.

Unicode? NOW!

Unicode provides a unique number for every character,
no matter what the platform,
no matter what the program,
no matter what the language.

UNIX?

"Unix boosters seem almost ashamed to acknowledge this sometimes, as though 
admitting they're having fun might damage their legitimacy somehow. But it's 
true; Unix is fun to play with and develop for, and always has been."

Eric S. Raymond in: The Art of Unix Programming

Hacking?

"... I think the public has the right to know what's 
going on. ... Think of, hacking is a public service!"

Kevin Mitnick in: Takedown
