[edit] Introduction

For some VDR user is the first contact with VDR also the first contact with Linux (is there a better approach? ;-). With the VDR instant solutions (c't-VDR, LinVDR,...) everything should install fluently. But after the first impressions, the wish for a deeper configuration, or a deeper knowledge about the system could arise. Besides the delivered documentation, the internet is full of information pages with tips & tricks about Linux.

Here are some links to those useful pages. (At the moment many links shows to german pages. Please help to replace them with English links)
