Look Up That Term
Come across an IT term that you don't recognize? If you can't find out
what it means from one of these sites, then it's probably a misprint.

Top Site for IT White Papers
The papers on this site cover a wide range of subjects from CRM to
programming. I thought the security section particularly useful with
categories including authentication, content filtering,
encryption/cryptography, intrusion detection/prevention and more. Be
aware that some of these papers come from product vendors.

FAQ Finder
FAQs are compilations of Frequently Asked Questions. They are a gold
mine of information particularly when you have an obscure problem to
solve. This site has searchable listing of ALL the UseNet FAQs and
believe me, that's a LOT of information.

Free Knoppix Book, Linux Training
"Knowing Knoppix" [1] is a free downloadable 124-page book released
under the GNU Free Documentation License. It's a great introduction to
Knoppix for those coming from a Windows background. For a more formal
set of tutorials, try the free online courses from this [2] site.

Learn HTML for Free
I often get requests from readers asking how they can best learn HTML. I
usually refer them to this site that offers a free on-line tutorial.
The course starts from a very basic level and takes about five hours to
complete after which you will have
learned more than enough to build a simple web site. The same site
offers a number of other free courses such as dynamic HTML and Windows
2000 server but I haven't tried these.

this Web site are as good as anything you can buy off the shelf, in our
opinion.
