Hi,

Please find attached a new HOW-TO document that I have authored.  It's
aimed at helping new Linux users find help on Linux using resources from
Google to man pages to mailing list archives.

I'd like to find out if someone would like to review it and give me
feedback and if it can be added to the official HOW-TO list.

There is an HTML copy posted on my site at
http://www.raybenjamin.com/linux-help-how-to/index.html.

Thank you,
  Ray Benjamin
