This is a prototype list, maybe one-day I'll convert it to a different format. It is also prone to change, and maybe should be outside of any issue, but I think you'd rather have it than not.
Remember that browser "clickable URLS" are still text, and you can use X11 select and paste.
Note that many of these are untested, one day ...
Please note: http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/ should be mirrored along with sunsite:/pub/linux
This is where a DOS (windows) machine, acts like an X11 terminal. The programs run on the Unix box, but the display appears on the PC.
Although X11 is free, the work required to port X11 to DOS, can make a PC-X11-Desktop expensive.
Although Issue-1 is mostly about hardware, I'm not particularly interested in it. It's just the first obstacle to overcome. If you know of any URLS that should be added to the list (or replace it completely!) please call.
Hardware is also discussed in various HOWTO's. ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/usenet/news-FAQS/comp.sys.ibmpc.hardware.chips
A database of Linux Supported Hardware (from vendors) is available from http://linux.crynwr.com
Parallel port devices are usually supported when not on the parallel port (ie SCSI). Support on the parralel port will require a driver. There are some, try http://www.torque.net/ for Iomega Zip, and SyQuest EX135.
They've figured the value of permanent URLS, for key-facts.

Linux 8086 is a cut down (regrown) version, that runs on 8086 and 286 boxes. The idea being to reuse old boxes, and open up Linux to countries where 386 boxes are still rare. You should be able to run it under DOSEMU, and still have Linux-386 (or even other CPU's) running. I have not tried that yet.
scriptum is an editor with some language support and FTP support
Thot is a word processing system, developed by project Opera (INRIA-IMAG) in France.
Convert WIN.311 to TCP/IP instead of Windows95! fetch wfwt32.exe (see also samba in slackwar/contrib)
I couldn't find anything else there of interest though!
I have no connection with these, but they offer interesting products, or technical documents, or both.
They don't write their own office apps, but they do serious engineering, finite element analysis, knowledge base, and other things. If you are an oil company, or university, I'd take a look at http://www.cosmic.uga.edu/
These don't have much to do with Linux.

There are several mirrors around, I chose a UK one. It is very confusing which dir and file to pick, so this is only an example. This file disables it's features in August!
