Vote:Best Newbie Helper 11
We were all a newbie once, and each day there are more of them then there were the day before. These are the guys that are doing the most to turn the newbies into competent Linux users. They answer questions on IRC. They write documentation. And they are as important for the future of Linux as the hackers who write the code. The nominees in
this category are Sensei, Matt Welsh, Havoc Pennington, and Tom
Christiansen. You know what to do.
LDP and HOWTOs (Score:1)
I use the LDP almost daily, in helping others use Linux. I often refer others to it - through experience, if it takes me 6 hours to figure something out, it would have taken 30 minutes if I'd just been bothered to read the HOWTO.
Thank you Matt, you're a star.

I'm Sensei, Hear me roar (Score:1)
We help newbies and help everyone use and get better with Linux. We create a positive cycle of learning where the community helps itself.
Call it a LUG, a think tank, a watering hole, whatever.
I just wanted to give some background on who the fsck Sensei is.
What did I do to deserve this? (Score:2)
Well, I:
Okay, so a lot of my contributions might be "ancient history", but I would only hope that they were instrumental in making Linux as popular as it is today. Helping newbies was my top priority for longer than I can remember. Maybe that deserves a vote.
Cheers,
Matt Welsh
Info on the nominees (Score:2)
I'm voting Sensei myself. He seems to cover a lot more ground at LinuxNewbie, a site I first visited today. That site seems to better cover the lone newbie wanting information on anything rather than just one thing. Welsh comes a close second.

Not my first choice. I nominated the guys that started nowonder.com. Sensei was the closest thing, though.
