    I'd say that you might need to target guides - what sort of thing are you looking for?

    Just to point n00bs in the right direction. What's available, distro's grouped newbie, mainstream, office, desktop, advanced, niche etc. Brief explanations. Plus a guide to KDE, Gnome etc, usefull commands everyone should know.

    Re: Linux/BSD guide(s) required for forum

    it would be a pretty big task to do and maintain this with a fair few of the big distros pushing out releases every 6 months with quite considerable differences on regular basis depending on which way the wind blows, and with the addition of external software repositories it can make them better/worse stable/unstable.

    The best thing to do is link to distrowatch.com for an overview to whats popular at the moment and why.
    It is Inevitable.....
