6.3. HOWTO translations

As Dutch is less wide-spread, it is the least supported. But work is being done to resolve this ;) (and maybe *you* can help ?!?) French and German translations obviously are already taken care of.

6.3.1. Dutch

A succesfull initiative is making progress, but there's still a lot to do. If you want to help, start translating and send it there. Check http://nl.linux.org/doc/HOWTO/ .

6.6. IRC

The fastest medium to get support is IRC , but beware. Because IRC is rather anonymous it's also easy to deceive people.

On IRCnet there's a channel called #linux.be that is closely related to bcol and the Belgian Linux-scene. The channel is still small, but it surely will grow in time. To get help in English, there's only one place #linux.

Also Dalnet has a #linux.be channel.
