 Bringing the Linux Documentation Project to Slovenia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Linux is perhaps enjoying more than its fair share of publicity among the free software, probably because the operating system kernel, written by Linus Torvalds and collaborators, filled in the last gap to make a complete working free operating system possible; yet it's only the tip of the iceberg.
Linux has very successfully combined the idea of free software with the rising tide of the Internet in the early 1990's and is today the only non- Microsoft operating system expanding its user base.
The documents produced by the LDP are primarily written in English (an exception are the "national" HOWTOs, dealing with localizing Linux for a particular locale, which are usually written in the language understood by its target population).

Most of the stuff on LDP is outdated or irrelevant, and there's no cohesive guide to dealing with a system because any linux installation is made up of a ton of little parts from different projects that keep changing.
Linux, on the other hand, is a random helter-skelter mess of half-implemented and incompatible software systems that's lucky to run at all much less be intuitive to the user.
