Talk:Installing Red Hat on a ThinkPad T20
From ThinkWiki
|
When I created this page, I did not include 'Install' in the name as the guidelines suggested.
This was intentional. I think 'Install' is too limiting, as often pages about Linux on a particular model have interesting information on other topics, especially configuring the system after it is installed.
True. The original considerations to name all those pages starting with "Installing..." was to have them grouped in the category views. We should for consistency keep either "Installation instructions...." oder "Installation and Configuration...". I'm relatively unemotional about this.
Concerning the distro specific installation pages, there are two points of view.
- The one we used so far is to have all Installation (and configuration) pages sorted under I and grouped together there. This has the advantage of that if someone looks within a model category view for installation instructions, he will immediately get a clue of what instructions are available or not. The disadvantage is that if someone looks for a specific distro he will this sorting is secondary.
- The other one that would vote for your scheme is to have the Installation instructions listing page under I and the specific distro installations under the letter the distro starts with. Advantage would be that one can directly look i.e. under R for Redhat. Disadvantage is that he can't get an immediate overview of for which distros instructions are available since he would have to look through the whole list and know the distros names. This disadvanteage is relativated by the option to look into the model specific installation instructions overview page to get a glimpse of what's there and what's not.
Basically, we should just make a decision, because consistent it would have to be or else soon nobody will find nothing anymore.
Also, you used a different layout and different naming schemes for other pages. Again, the reasons to ask you not to do so:
- The preformatted block, initiated by a space at the beginning of a line should be reserved for code and configuration file snippets for consistency. Content related (semantic) formatting goes over optical formatting here. A list of pages is a list, not a code snippet, so you should use the list format for that.
Please change your edits accordingly.
Wyrfel.
