Ultimate Linux Newbie Guide [http://www.linuxnewbieguide.org]
I'm happy to announce the Ultimate Linux Newbie Guide is up and running. It's a site for complete Linux (or even Computer) novices. The reader will enjoy a no-nonsense guide to Choosing, Using and Installing Linux onto a computer system.
Amonst it's highlights, the site features an installation guide, loaded with images of a
Linux Installation (Ubuntu 5.10) as well as an introduction to the Linux desktop, for both KDE and GNOME. Importantly (because it keeps coming up on newbie forums), there is a chapter devoted to obtaining software, as well as one devoted to installing it.
I actually ran this site years ago (2000-2003), but the site was lost when my ISP at the time had a few bothers. I didn't have an up to date backup, so the project got shelved. I always felt sad about that decision, so around six months ago I made enquiries into seeing if I could get the site from some old archive somewhere.
Luckily, the good people at the Web Archive (also known as the Wayback Machine) could help me out. Within a few months I got the old content back, almost unscathed, from 2003. Since then I've been retyping large sections of it to bring it up to date and it is mostly finished now. There is still a lot to do on the Desktop side of things but it's looking pretty good now, and there are loads of visitors daily.
I hope that it's a valuable contribution to those who are thinking about crossing over to Linux, but just need that 'sit-down and talk it over' approach to getting it all 'upstairs' before going ahead with it.
If you like the site, please link to it on your own blog or site, so that other Linux newbies can benefit from it.
Cheers!
Al.

Make no mistake: Our mission at Tip Top Equities is to sift through the thousands of underperforming companies out there to find the golden needle in the haystack. A stock worthy of your investment. A stock with the potential for big returns. More often than not, the stocks we profile show a significant increase in stock price, sometimes in days, not months or years. We have come across what we feel is one of those rare deals that the public has not heard about yet. Read on to find out more.
Nano Superlattice Technology Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: NSLT) is a nanotechnology company engaged in the coating of tools and components with nano structured PVD coatings for high-tech industries.
Nano utilizes Arc Bond Sputtering and Superlattice technology to apply multi-layers of super-hard elemental coatings on an array of precision products to achieve a variety of physical properties. The application of the coating on industrial products is designed to change their physical properties, improving a product's durability, resistance, chemical and physical characteristics as well as performance. Nano's super-hard alloy coating materials were especially developed for printed circuit board drills in response to special market requirements
The cutting of circuit boards causes severe wear on the cutting edge of drills and routers. With the increased miniaturization of personal electronics devices the dimensions of holes and cut aways are currently less than 0.2 mm. Nano coats tools with an ultra thin coating (only a few nanometers in thickness) of nitrides which can have a hardness of up to half that of diamond. This has proven to increase tool life by almost ten times. Nano plans to continue research and development into these techniques due to the vast application range for this type of nanotechnology
We believe that Nano is a company on the move. With today�s steady move towards miniaturization we feel that Nano is a company with the right product at the right time. It is our opinion that an investment in Nano will produce great returns for our readers.
