If I didn't provide an URL for a program or a package, you may get it from Debian or as a RPM package, from your favorite RPM server, for instance rpmfind.
Some parts are modified chapters from my Linux-Mobile-Guide and my InfraRed-HOWTO.
The document is included in the LINUX DOCUMENTATION PROJECT.
The latest version of this document is available at Computers and Ecology .
Since Wade W. Hampton provided a great amount of information included into this text I consider him as a co-author. Though all responsibility for any mistakes is taken by me.
Please feel free to contact me for comments or questions about the HOWTO. I know this material is not finished or perfect, but I hope you find it useful anyway.
