I've meant to get back into assembly for quite some time now. This might be the motivation I need. I don't really have any need to build anything since I work on extremely high level stuff but assembly always had a neat "oh cool look what I can do" feel to it.

I always preferred AT&T syntax but Intel is the wide spread one. From quickly browsing the site it seems they provide examples for both which is cool.

If anyone has any interesting ideas for some smallish to midsize just for fun projects post away :)

Writing a quine[0] is always a fun starting project when picking up a new language... :)

If you prefer a book on the subject of assembly on Linux, Programming from the Ground Up (2004)[1] is freely downloadable and still relevant.

Sweet, I'm also learning masm, may as well learn gnu assembly.

Is there a single page / pdf version of this tutorial?

There's both: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Assembly-HOWTO/ http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/pdf/Assembly-HOWTO.pdf http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/text/Assembly-HOWTO

Excellent, should be an interesting read.
