<para>From the feedback mailinglist: how about a Windows-Linux Analogy HOWTO?
|
|
This would be a HOWTO describing what to do in order to run your favorite
|
|
Microsoft Windows tasks and programs on a Linux machine. If you ever had trouble
|
|
migrating and you found solutions, then your input might be of great value!</para>

<para>It seems there is some confusion about this section. So, in order to make

it extra clear for the reader:</para>
|

<para>The purpose of this section is to help authors gather feedback. Your

constructive criticism is <emphasis>very</emphasis> welcome!</para>

<listitem><para>Alex Weeks has taken it on him to update the <ulink
|
|
url="http://tldp.org/LDP/sag/index.html">Linux System Administrator's Guide</ulink>.
|
|
He's started cleaning out, and already added a new part about NTP, the Network
|
|
Time Protocol. The SAG was originally authored by some quite famous people, so
|
|
we would like to wish Alex strength, patience and courage so as to be a worthy
|
|
successor. He might need your help, however, so please check out the current
|
|
version and let Alex know what else you think is missing.</para></listitem>

|
|
edition of the Laptop HOWTO</ulink>. Since this one, apart from laptops, also
|
|
covers PDA and mobile telephone configuration topics - which presumably made it a lot
|
|
longer, Werner would like to rename his document to be the <quote>Linux Mobile
|
|
Guide</quote>. Since these are big changes and since we are, after all, on the
|
|
high of a re-styling wave, Tabatha subsequently suggested to give this new
|
|
addition to our Guides collection a <ulink

post</ulink> proves that we can never have enough volunteers. Imagine that you,
|
|
like Lars Strand, ask for comments on your work. You've actively participated
|
|
in other discussions, you are enthusiastic about being a first time author and
|
|
all, but after some days it proves that you get no reaction whatsoever. So we'd
|
|
like to address a request to our dear readers: our authors don't wish for
|
|
anything but to be flooded with remarks about their documents! Even if it's just a
|
|
spelling correction, they appreciate that, and will most likely personally tell
|
|
you so. And then you will have an authentic E-mail, personally directed to you,
|
|
from one of our authors! And you will be able to honestly brag about your
|
|
participation in an Open Source project ;-)</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>Artemiy Pavlov submitted the first version of his <ulink
|

url="http://linuxdoc.artemio.net/squashfs">SquashFS HOWTO</ulink>. SquashFS is a
|
|
file system for small Linux implementations, which is for instance needed for
|
|
embedded systems (on a computer chip) or on flash memory. SquashFS uses a strong
|
|
compression mechanism that squeezes the last drop out of every available bit. It
|
|
is a read-only file system, so it's ideal for archiving purposes. If you want
|
|
SquashFS support, you need a kernel patch and maybe the
|
|
<command>mksquashfs</command> command to create these <quote>squashed</quote> file
|

systems.</para></listitem>
