Thanks Eadz, great idea!

I still think the "Tips & Tricks" section should be added to the forum. Regardless, no one seems to be adding anything to the wiki.

Plus, having it in the forum will be more noticable to the average user.... (Having a section in 2 places is harmless,

)

Well if all the people who said "I think there should be a tips and tricks forum" had any tips and tricks, you think there would be more than one tip on there. ..

I think the tips & tricks section could be in both places because it is a whole lot easier to post in the forums than in the wiki. (Most people are after all more familiar with phpbb than with wiki's.) Some of the more knowleagable users could then add all the good tips from the forums to the wiki and so we would have the best in both worlds.

I'd happily contribute; there are a few things i've discovered that have made my 'life with knoppix' a lot easier & i'd love to share them & learn a few others, even if they fall in to the 'stupid but true' category in the view of the older hands out there.

i'm not a PC newbie but I am to Linux & this wiki thing is a new thing to me too. I am sure I am not alone.

Well, perhaps we can use this thread to post the tips and tricks until a forum gets created and then we will at least have some posts to populate the new forum with... what do you guys think?

Personally, I'm for a forum since it would allow some feedback on these tips and tricks (like "bad idea" or good idea and here's how to improve it), but I don't think that this meets with the concensus of opinion. I suggest those interested in this use the wiki for now. If support for a forum increases or a need for it becomes apparent, then perhaps it will be created. Until some more things get posted on the wiki however, I doubt this will happen.

There are a lot of people who requested this so I have added it. I hope it gets used!

I guess that the forum may be easier to use than the wiki, and certianly looks better. I might have to see if I can improve how the wiki looks.
