Well as one who's particularly critical of most of the howto's/instruction 
sheets/guides etc etc (I'm sure I mentioned that it's one of my "soap box" 
subjects Steve), I'll give them a "read".

Just for info Steve, of all the stuff I've read and tried to "inwardly 
digest", the best, by far, has been the Gentoo documentation. I get the 
distinct impression that someone with good technical knowledge and (better 
than the average geek - no criticism intended) quite good english language 
and/or literature, has given them the "once over".

Not that I'm any expert, just the "LUG nugget" :D
