I've placed this in and would welcome feedback from anyone who knows more about this subject than I do. At the moment, the document is plain text (I don't know LinuxDoc, would prefer not to (I'd rather spend the time learning DocBook, but don't know of a handy tutorial -- references appreciated)). I'm kind of hoping that with a bit of peer review it can become a candidate for the tutorials page, and ultimately spawn a new section of the handbook. As I say, feedback welcomed. Hope it's useful.
