MES FAQs - COORDINATION THREAD FOR WRITING FAQs
rtgwbmsr:
vhosts aren't neccessarily difficult, as long as you have them going to an IP. See:
http://mesfaq.akgames.net:8000/Faq.htm
Calum:
is this a competition to see where the faq gets hosted? ;)
well the final home of the faq could not be hosted on tripod, since they do not even give you a proper domain name, however the php and mysql is all set up if we want a seminal place for it. otherwise i will just let the tripod account rot into disexistence...
edit: okay, muffin man says his server will be ready to host the faq in roughly a week, in the meantime feel free to use this tripod account, which we can treat as a test host...
now... anybody know any questions that people frequently ask? :rolleyes:

rtgwbmsr:
For Linux:
What distro do you reccommend (for a: Newbie/Intermediate/Expert)?
How much swap space do I need?
How do I configure Lilo/GRUB?
How do I install a program?
How do I configure Wine(X)? (This one could get ugly...)
The answers to these are somewhere in the forums. Anyone got something they asked as a newbie? All of those stupid questions you were too embarrased to ask, but never knew!

KernelPanic:
Now that is a part that involves trwling through back-posts and bitchfests
This all sounds cool, has anybody thought of how it will be laid out? it needs to be done well.
By 'well' I mean logically organised and accessible rather that 'pretty'.
Is anybody interested in turning this collection of ACSII we will have into something useful?, I am willing to help if need be.
Calum:
okay, but i think it should look nice as well, and i vote it should be slaved to the layout of this site (the M$ eradication site)
i personally would be willing to write about how to set up LiLo, although i know a dozen other people could write this in their sleep. if anybody does want something included in the LiLo faq, please email it to me at calum @ fuckmicrosoft.com thanks.
i would also be willing to write some sort of 'what's the difference between open source, GPL and whatever microsoft uses?' FAQ. again, email me with suggestions.
Now, if somebody else wants to write these FAQs rather than me, then they should post here and speak up. OR, as i say, email me with content and i will include credit where it is due in the things i write.
That's just copy, as to actual structure, ie writing the markup to go with the SQl and the PHP, somebody else will have to be in charge of that, but i vote for some sort of thing where we can fairly easily drop the copy into a simple template.
As i say, i will do both the FAQs i mention above, email me with content, post if you would rather do those two faqs yourself, or if you want to do some other faq.
Now, i sound a lot like i am grabbing the reins, but this is just my suggestions for how to coordinate this effort, anybody has better or other ideas, then over to you... :D
PS - the test server that may or may not end up being used by somebody can be viewed by going to www.faqfuckmicrosoft.tk
pps - at the moment, the tripod server redirects to these forums, but of course, once we have some content, it can show that instead! :rolleyes:
