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
|
|
Machtelt Garrels. After a few tips Fran is probably renaming her
|
|
document and converts it into a Bash Scripting Quick Start HOWTO. The
|
|
audience is different for both documents so it is probably worth
|
|
writing it.</para>
