Welcome to the project.
This describes what I would like to do with the Administration Guide -
provide a document that gives readers with some understanding of
computers the confidence to manage Linux systems, by clearly explaining
how the system works:

You may also be interested in the Getting Started Guide, which is a more

If you are interested in contributing to one of these (or starting your
