Ok, my take on this. I'm not currently writing something for the LDP
|
|
however one or more of the documents may be offered to the LDP in the
|
|
future. Docbook has been a bit of a sod to learn at times, however
|
|
this is trivial compared with trying to pull together the information
|
|
I need to gather and clean to create the document. sgml/docbook
|
|
by it's nature allows me to work on the document on the celeron at
|
|
home, the PII at work and the rather naff P100 laptop I use on the
|
|
underground on the way home. I'm not tied to any particular OS/editor
|
|
but I can merrily use a sgml/docbook wysiwyg editor if it's available.

Do not meddle in the affairs of hamsters. Just don't. It's not worth it.
