going on on what the best manner is to convert your docbook xml

is going on about two documents. Fran Literio is creating the "Bash
|
||||
Scripting Introduction HOWTO", but is not sure if it worth the time
|
||||
and energy because there is also the "Bash Guide for Beginners" of
|
||||
Machteld Garrels. After a few tips Fran is probably renaming her
|
||||
document and converts it into a Bash Scripting Quick Start HOWTO. The
|
||||
audiance is different for both documents so it is probably worth
|
||||
writing it.</para>
