<ul>
<li><span class="rss:item">The <a href="http://www.ibiblio.org/mdw/HOWTO/Mock-Mainframe/index.html" target="_top">The Mock Mainframe Mini-HOWTO</a> by Scot W. Stevenson is a brief description of a
standard way to set up and work with a computer network for a small group of people. The goals are low build costs, ease of administration and relative safety. The document requires no extraordinary
background, specific terminology is explained as the author goes along.</span></li>
<li><span class="rss:item">Eric S. Raymond did a complete rewrite of the <a href="http://tldp.org/HOWTO/UPS-HOWTO/" target="_top">UPS HOWTO</a>. An Uninterruptable Power Supply is the box that will
keep your hardware running when the conventional power network is in trouble. Worried about power outages? If you have Linux, a UPS and this HOWTO, you'll feel much better.</span></li>

<h2 class="sect2"><a name="AEN68"></a>3.1. DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide 2nd Edition</h2>
<p>Bob Stayton <a href="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?2:mss:528:200310:aaafcfkokbbeicifkbkn" target="_top">announced</a> the release of the second edition of his book <a href=
"http://www.sagehill.net/book-description.html" target="_top"><span class="QUOTE">"DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide"</span></a>. The book is available at amazon.com and also for browsing at <a href=

<h2 class="sect2"><a name="AEN75"></a>3.2. DocBook output from OpenOffice.org</h2>
<p>If you are struggling to get the DocBook output from OpenOffice.org to work like <a href="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:5077:200310:kiadacffdolnkpikbgna" target="_top">Saqib Ali</a> and
<a href="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?2:mss:525:200310:mkcekgolfdckhhgkoapn" target="_top">Charles Curley</a>, Try the <a href=
"http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:5076:200310:fbacfjfdkmpbdhgmbbhp" target="_top">solution</a> that Charles found. It seems it would be best if you install JRE first, so that OOo can see it
during installation. Time for a mini-HOWTO?</p>
