Linuxconfig.org is GNU/Linux and Free Software for GNU/Linux platform promotion website. Our main goals are to promote GNU/Linux and Free Software for GNU/Linux platform and provide users a centralized portal for learning, configuring and sharing knowledge. Linuxconfig.org is collaboratively written by volunteer software developers and Linux system administrators throughout the world and is open to both new and established Linux users alike.

Purpose of linuxconfig.org

Promote GNU/Free Software Projects

The true essence of the Free Software development process is the quick innovative construction of shared solutions in a cooperative environment. The synergy of GNU/Linux user’s efforts within a shared community creates a higher standard of quality, and helps to ensure the long-term viability and creation of new Free Software and educational tutorials. Linuxconfig.org is an ongoing project in which anybody, in principal, can contribute to and participate in. Anyone is welcome to add information or cross-reference as long as they do so within Linuxconfig’s editing policies and to an appropriate quality standard.

Experienced Users & Developers

Linuxconfig.org provides free web space for all configuration instructions developed for the Linux platform. The idea is for developers to add their existing configurations on how to install and use their Free Software on Linuxconfig.org for the overall Linux community to view and use. Developers only need to contact us to get access to their own account and then copy and paste their configuration instructions to Linuxconfig.org in the appropriate mediawiki syntax. They then have the ability to continue the maintenance of their posted configurations, updating the information they have posted as need be. All developers are able to create back links to where their actual projects are hosted along with any additional details on their configuration page to receive credit. Projects will get a chance to be featured on the home page through a share of voice rotation. Providing them with an incredible vast audience of Linux fanatics!
