- I definetly am! I myself was considering to make some kind of manual
- to help newbies getting started. Especially to help them getting an idea
- of how Unix works. I.e. what happens when the OS is booting, what files are
- involved and how one can customize the system. Or some hints to very dangerous
- commands like "rm -r *", or how to get the printer producing output, etc.
- Since I consider myself kind of a newbie, although I'm working with Unix for
- quite a while, the idea was to log my solutions and understandings while I'm
- improving my knowledge of the system. Maybe we can put our manpower together
- to create such a beast. Let me know how you think about it.
