Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

There are 60 (yes, sixty) deleted posts, spam & comments on spam, between this & the last one w/ useful content. The way my system is set up, that's 7 screensfull -- a lot of <PageUp> & <PageDown> to move between them.
Please consider removing the visual clutter by either hard deleting them or moving them to their own thread where they don't harm this one. Thanks.

Keep in mind that only mods see soft deleted posts. We typically never hard delete content here at LQ, but it's possible we'll look into making an exception for this recent spam mass attack.
Indeed, if I delete all LQ cookies in Firefox, I don't see the deleted spam. Of course I do see the ads.
It's good to know that I am not seeing what a regular user sees. So my concern shifts user convenience to mod team convenience. If it's not too much trouble, I think that removing the huge amount of residual clutter from the recent attack might improve our ability to moderate the affected threads.
