New documents
Fresh@LDP
No new documents this week, but if you all help with the reviewing, we'll soon have a couple of them for the next issue, see next section.
Submitted for review
A lot of new proposals were accepted this week:
Manoj Warrier sent in the first submission of his Scientific computing on GNU/Linux using free software HOWTO, which is already available from SourceForge.
Another first submission, this one from Thomas Miglinci, is the SIMpad HOWTO, dealing with the installation and configuration of Linux on the Siemens Webtablett.
And yet another first-timer: the Linux Kernel 0.01 Commentary, by Pramode C.E.
Apart from that, we received these submissions for existing documents:
From Miroslav Skoric, updates for his FBB mini-HOWTO, LILO mini-HOWTO and Linux+WindowsNT mini-HOWTO.
From Leo Cooper: the Advanced Bash Scripting Guide v2.2.
