Related, However Loosely

I know I'm not telling you anything that you don't already know, but the internet is absolutely wonderful. Even a techno-geek-wannabe like me can take on a complex technical project with little existing knowledge of the details required to completee the project.

No matter what the topic/subject, you have access to very qualified technical advisors and technical information 24/7. There are forums, blogs, wikis , and technical reference sites on any subject and I do mean any subject. You may have to apply a little judgement to qualifying individual responses, but that generally sorts itself out.

So far, I've needed to research technical information on the Thinkpad 600 laptop since I know little about it. A couple of sources of info on the laptop itself as well as implementing Linux on it have been invaluable:

ThinkWiki provides great reference material for implementing Linux on a Thinkpad

Thinkpads.com Forum a great forum for q&a on everything you want to know about any model of Thinkpad.

For getting started with Linux, Distrowatch.com has been terrific. Anything you might want to know about the latest Linux distributions, reviews, links, .... etc, it's there.

I'll add others as I come across them and when they are significant and repetitive contributors to this project, I will add them to the link area on the sidebar.
