packages on his RedHat 9 based system. This is his <a href="http://apollo.simpaticus.com/other/docbook.packagelist.shrike.txt" target="_top">package list descriptions</a> page. On a Debian GNU/Linux

<h2 class="sect2"><a name="AEN68"></a>3.3. Linux+XFS HOWTO maintenance</h2>
<p>Russel Ingram, the maintainer for the <a href="http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Linux+XFS-HOWTO/" target="_top">Linux+XFS HOWTO</a> feels that the document is out of its useful life as several linux
distributions offer XFS at installation time. He plans to move the document to the unmaintained section of the HOWTOs and welcomes anyone who feels they can turn this back into an up to date and
useful document. Contact Russel at ringram at gargoylecc.com if you are interested.</p>
