TuxMobil offers 7,000 Linux Guides for the laptop

The TuxMobil project covers all aspects concerning Linux on laptops
and notebooks. The number of free guides and how-to's has more than
doubled in less than three years, and more than 7,000 links to Linux
laptop and notebook installation and configuration guides are now
listed at TuxMobil. [1]

In the Linux community, it's common tradition to help other members by
publishing free guides on many different aspects of the open source operating
system.  These guides and how-to's are suitable for newbies as well as experts.
Most of the guides are in English, but special TuxMobil sections are dedicated
to other languages.

TuxMobil indexes the guides by manufacturer and model as well as by processor
type, display size and Linux distribution.  Almost any laptop manufacturer
(more than 220) is covered.  All major Linux distributions (Redhat, Fedora,
Gentoo, Debian, Novell/SuSE, Ubuntu, Mandriva, Knoppix) and many
not-so-well-known distributions are present.  Besides Linux, the site includes
sections that cover other Unix derivatives like BSD, Minix and Solaris.

Tablet PCs or WebPads are special types of laptops that are built either as
slates without a keyboard or as convertibles.  Both kinds require a
sophisticated configuration.  Linux installation guides for Tablet PCs and a
survey of suitable drivers and applications like handwriting-recognition tools
are described in a separate section. [2]

A great number of accessories and gadgets for laptops and notebooks are
compatible with Linux.  TuxMobil provides details about Linux hardware
compatibility for PCMCIA cards, miniPCI cards, ExpressCards, infrared,
BlueTooth, wireless LAN adapters and Webcams. [3]

Laptop development paces quickly, and new approaches to WLAN standards, power
management, graphics chipsets or CPU features come up every few months.  Linux
development also is fast, so the need for current Linux laptop installation
guides will not diminish in the near future.  TuxMobil encourages its users to
write their own guides to help.

Laptop manufacturer support for the Linux operating system is still in its
early stages, although some third-party companies offer professional support or
allow users to purchase a laptop with Linux preloaded.  TuxMobil provides an
international survey of vendors dedicated to your free operating system of
choice, which offer pre-installed Linux laptops, notebooks, mobile phones and
PDAs for sale, as well as accessories that are compatible to Linux. [4]

About TuxMobil

Starting with an installation report about Linux on his first
laptop, published by founder Werner Heuser, TuxMobil has been online for 10
years.  It has become the biggest online resource about Linux and mobile
computers.  The name TuxMobil is an abridgement of the words "Tux" and "mobil".
Tux is the well-known name of the Linux mascot and "mobil" is just a shortcut
for mobile.
