<ul>
<li><span class="rss:item">Not actually a new document, but Artemio I. Pavlo thinks it is now worthy of the version number 1.0, and since all one-dot-ooooh's come here, his is not exception. So here
is the possibly nearly bug free <a href="http://tldp.org/HOWTO/SquashFS-HOWTO/" target="_top">SquashFS HOWTO</a>.</span></li>

<ul>
<li><span class="rss:item">Kurt Swendson wants you to have a look at this <a href="http://lam32767.tripod.com/" target="_top">Beowulf Cluster HOWTO</a>. While we already have a HOWTO about the same
subject, he <a href="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?5:mss:7902:200403:bjbkepfimpgooajojbna" target="_top">argues</a> that the current document is more of a broad background and introduction to
clustering, it needs a practical addition and his document is truly a how-to, with step by step instructions. Secure access to the cluster is not covered yet.</span></li>

<li><span class="rss:item">The <a href="http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LDAP-HOWTO/" target="_top">LDAP HOWTO</a> v1.09 by Luiz Ernesto Pinheiro Mal&egrave;re covers v2.2.x of the <a href=
"http://www.openldap.org/" target="_top">OpenLDAP</a> package and has some general corrections.</span></li>
<li><span class="rss:item">Anthony Lissot provided us with an update of the <a href="http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/" target="_top">Partition HOWTO</a>. V3.4.4 resolves the inconsistencies between
the HTML and XML formats and the sections on LILO placement has been updated along with the swap size discussion.</span></li>
