About The Mandrake eXPerience

So, what is the point of this page, you ask? Well, when I was a complete newbie to Linux, I decided to start this page. I began providing tutorials for other newbies that were hopefully easy to understand and straight-forward. Whenever possible, I would provide screenshots so that you would know exactly what you should have been doing.

However, in the months since this site started, my Linux knowledge has grown exponentially. My tutorials are beginning to take on more advanced issues. So, this site is no longer meant for only the easy issues, but the harder issues as well. Not stuff as advanced as setting up mail servers, but things like compiling sound drivers and getting quick and messy hacks for fussy scanners and the like. My tutorials may not be 100% accurate for you or for others, but I do welcome all feedback in my inbox. The tutorials on which I have authorship have worked for me more than once, on multiple machines. That is my only guarantee.

In case anyone is wondering, this site was originally designed partly in Windows, and partly in Linux, using Quanta Plus and Gimp in Linux, and 1st Page 2000 and Gimp in Windows. My CSS script is edited using pretty much any text editor, such as KEdit and Notepad.

Not long ago, I stopped using Windows entirely, and I redesigned the entire site in Quanta Plus, Gimp, and Kate. Since then, I have redesigned the page yet another time. I use PHP and HTML.

The Spanish version of this page was done by: Gerardo Valdivia, Christian Montero, Manolo Canga, Alonso Genis, Angel Luis Garcia, collectively known as MdkTrans-es. A big thank you to them!

If you want to help this site grow, submit a tutorial, and I will format and upload it, so long as it works and is relevant. Please try to use my format whenever possible, as that greatly eases the work I have to do.

I hope everyone who visits here will find something useful.
