Does anyone know any similar online course or article series?

Is there anything like xmonad for Windows?

Edit: found [some options on wikipedia][1], but maybe you have any other sugestions.

You should add some tagging, to identify an entry as a swearing (nsfw), slang, proverb. Most expressions currently on the website are swearings.

It could be hard to guess how "coé" should be pronounced, so you should add the phonetic representation for the words, check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_Portuguese_an...

Arch is not easy, but is my choice (Dell Vostro). Check the you hardware compatibility on the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Category:Laptops

Title says: Error 404 (Not Found)!!1
