Where to find images?

You may have noticed that most of tips are illustrated with images.

• Be careful of using images you have rights or authors have given them.
• The easiest way is to use images licensed CreativeCommons (cc), licence compatible with that one of en.kioskea.
  • You just have to go on http://search.creativecommons.org/, Tab "Flickr" and to use keywords (for example «hard» or «harddrive» for images of hard disks, «USB»/«USB disk»,«Flashdisk» for USB keys, «lock» for images of locks, etc.).
  • You can also use http://www.compfight.com/, thinking to check the «Only Search Creative Commons».
