Welcome to the Ark Linux Walkthrough. This walkthrough is specifically designed for those completely new to ArkLinux and even Linux in general. Following is the Table of Contents for our Walkthrough. Note it is a work in progress, some pages still need to be partially completed. If you'd like to contribute, please do so! --- but no spamming!
Most (but not all!) images in the walkthrough pages below have a larger version available. To view the larger version, click the image, then click it again on the new page to see it seperately from the document. It will automatically resize the picture to the size of your browser window. For most browsers, however, clicking on it a third time will allow you to view it at the full size.
