This section is for sites that offer unique tutorials or help articles on a topic specific to Linux for new and advanced users. Sites with only links to other help sites should be submitted to the links category. A tutorial is a document or article meant to help a user towards some ends. In the name of getting a specific task done, it will explain other things the user needs to know. For example, a tutorial on installing Linux would explain the steps necessary to get Linux installed. If you wanted to more fully understand a subject in its breadth, try Documentation instead.
