'''Welcome to Tutorials and Howtos, a place of basic and advanced configuration tasks for your Alpine Linux.'''


The tutorials are hands-on and the reader is expected to try and achieve the goals described in each step, possibly with the help of a good example. The output in one step is the starting point for the following step.
'''The tutorials are hands-on''' and the reader is expected to try and achieve the goals described in each step, possibly with the help of a good example. The output in one step is the starting point for the following step.
 
Howtos are smaller articles explaining how to perform a particular task with Alpine Linux.
 
We encourage people to send in both complete articles as well as requesting topics to be covered. If you think you have the skills and knowledge to write an Alpine Linux related article please do so on this Wiki. If you want to request a topic, please add your request in this page's [[Talk:Tutorials_and_Howtos|Discussion]].


-----------------------------------------------------------------
'''Howtos are smaller articles''' explaining how to perform a particular task with Alpine Linux, that expects a minimal knowledge from reader to perform actions.


All of those linked pages here will help you make many thing over the Alpine '''O'''perating '''S'''ystem or Alpine '''OS'''.
'''IMPORTANT:''' contributions on those pages must be complete articles as well as requesting topics to be covered, don't override already made contributions. If you want to request a topic, please add your request in this page's [[Talk:Tutorials_and_Howtos|Discussion]].


Alpine are the main program named '''OS''' (means Operating System), that's runs on top of the '''machine/PC/laptop''', and subsequently over this '''OS''' run the programs such like the internet web browser, and the web pages like "facebook" runs over that internet web browser.

Todo: This material has been re-organized..., but grouping should be checked: Howtos are smaller articles and tutorials are more detailed document


Welcome to Tutorials and Howtos, a place of basic and advanced configuration tasks for your Alpine Linux.

The tutorials are hands-on and the reader is expected to try and achieve the goals described in each step, possibly with the help of a good example. The output in one step is the starting point for the following step.

Howtos are smaller articles explaining how to perform a particular task with Alpine Linux, that expects a minimal knowledge from reader to perform actions.

IMPORTANT: contributions on those pages must be complete articles as well as requesting topics to be covered, don't override already made contributions. If you want to request a topic, please add your request in this page's Discussion.
