Started in 2000 by [[Jeremy Garcia]], LQ is one of the most popular [[free software community]] sites and is usually reputed for helpfulness.<ref>http://www.jordomedia.com/RSS/l_op=viewrss/lid=110713.html</ref><ref>http://www.linuxquestions.org</ref>
 
The most popular section of the site are the [[Internet forum|forum]]s, where [[Linux]] users can share their knowledge and experience. Newcomers to the Linux world (often called [[newbie]]s) can ask questions and Linux experts can offer advice. Topics include [[Computer security|security]], installation, and [[Computer network|networking]]. Currently available forums fall into the following categories: LinuxQuestions.org, Linux, Enterprise Linux, Other *NIX Forums, Non-*NIX Forums.

Despite its growth, it is still essentially run by one person &mdash; owner and founder [[Jeremy Garcia]] &mdash; with help from a team of [[Forum moderator|moderators]]. LQ is active in the community, often having either a stall or presence at [[:Category:Linux conferences|Linux conferences]] or expositions. These are primarily in the [[United States]], but have also been in the [[United Kingdom]] and in [[Canada]].
