A Linux help section

[anticpated]

I was musing about some sort of help section for Linux. Generally speaking I mean something like Ubuntu,OpenSuse & Fedora. Not the more complex versions of these distribution.

So the subjects I was going to cover and research are:

Mounting your Android device.

Mounting an Apple device. (Not even sure if this is possible yet)

Updating your mobile OS using Linux

Using Heimdall to update your handset

Being as the emphasis is always on Mac OS X and Windows I thought this might draw in another crowd of people.

You have my attention @anticpated Tell us more about your idea

Nothing concrete in mind yet.

I'm going to try to show the simplest way to do these things.

It comes with one caveat, because for example, even though Ubuntu is aimed at people want to mainly just run desktop applications somethings still not be obvious. So the idea will be to concentrate all the main information into one section. Often looking up information, can lead you to many search results. It's not a beginners operating system although it's not aimed at Debian or Redhat professionals either.

I will presume the people using the guides will already have a working multimedia system. As I will want to keep it as concise as possible and straight to the point. OpenSuse is based on Redhat distributions so the methods will be slightly different however not too dissimilar.

The irony is that both Apple and Android devices use a Unix-based kernel yet there is no direct support I know of, out of the box. However I will simplify and demystify as best as I can. This will likely to be one or two posts and not too lengthy hopefully. My reasoning is because when I was learning to use these operating systems, it as a minefield of information out there.

Very interesting. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.

I'll let you know when I'm ready with any ideas or actual finished write-ups.
