If you're completely new to ROCK Linux, start by reading the document About ROCK Linux. It's a very brief overview, and doesn't go into technical details.
If you want a straight answer to the question "Is ROCK for me?", try the brutally honest Newbie's Guide.
For a gentle but in-depth look at ROCK, try the user-friendly ROCK Linux Guide.
If you're interested in seeing what questions other people have asked in the past, try the Mailing List Archives, the #rocklinux IRC Archives, or the transcripts of "Meet the Public" chat sessions.
More documentation is available in the Documentation Directory--this is also the same stuff that comes with the ROCK source code.
To find out what packages are available, browse the Package Descriptions.
Every now and then, we publish an issue of Rolling ROCK--our web magazine. Check out the articles written by developers on subjects dear to their hearts.
If you have a specific question or topic in mind, try a site Search.
Finally, if you can't find what you need, please let us know! Ask your question on the mailing list or drop into the IRC channel.
Practically everything would-be developers need to know is in the Developers subdirectory of the Documentation Directory. Especially useful is the HACKING-HOWTO, but you should read everything in this subdirectory.
Of course, you need a copy of the latest version.
If you can't find what you want, ask on the mailing list or the IRC channel.
Please feel free to link to or quote from any part of the official site content--with proper citation of the source, of course. Note that any statements made on the mailing list or IRC channels are the property (and exclusive responsibility) of the person who made them.
If you would like to be kept informed of major news items, join the low-volume rock-announce mailing list.
For interview, presentation or article requests, please email jocelyn@rocklinux.org.
ROCK developers attend and speak at many Unix/GNU/Linux events throughout the year. Because many of our developers are German or German-speaking, the Chaos Communications Congress and LinuxTag in Germany are particularly well-attended. However, we also attend many other events around the world. Major events announcements are made on the news page (the front page of the site).
If you are organizing an event and would like ROCK to be there, please contact jocelyn@rocklinux.org.
In addition, the English-speaking #rocklinux IRC channel is always operational and users are welcome to speak to developers there at any time.
