This is a wiki containing shared member-contributed tutorials, help and tips for existing and potential SDF users, focusing on the INTERNET, the UNIX operating system, and programming languages. The purpose of this wiki is to help users share information about the SDF Public Access UNIX System and UNIX.

Initially, this was a subset of the information from the HTML¹⁾ tutorials at sdf.org → tutorials.

It's expected that the SDF.org wiki content will grow and change. If you have SDF wiki access, please write additional tutorials, help and tips; migrate traditional tutorial content updates/changes; or port new and upcoming traditional tutorial content. Copies of the SDF traditional tutorial import data ²⁾ was kindly provided by contributing members of SDF.

If you would like to be able to edit this tutorial wiki, email membership@sdf.org (mailto link).

misc: A wiki namespace for other things –have some non-tutorial, not-about SDF things to wikify? Here's a place for it.

You can mess around on the wiki in the playground namespace, which is separate from and won't affect the main wiki. So if you want to practice before making changes to the wiki, go there and mess with it however you want (remember the wiki has version tracking, so even egregious changes can be undone rather quickly!)

One thing in the playground is an idea for a different front page: Playground Proposed Front Page: Welcome to SDF User Contributed Tutorials, check it out and let folks know if you like it on the TUTORIALS board in bboard
