What about my anti-buzz? I like the "Handbook, Tutorials, and FAQ" documents. I even forgot about the papers in /usr/share/doc. If people want to add Howto docs, let them be placed under Tutorials. I don't think a new category needs to be created. I think what we have makes a fine superset for anything than people can dream up. This discussion is mostly about naming semantics. There is no need to add another naming semantic to a new category of documents where a perfectly good category already exists. > Steve Roome recently added some valuable comments.

A category such as this goes way beyond FreeBSD and stretches deeply into a study of general guru-dom. > even call it freebsd step by step Or how about call it "Tuorials" and keep it within the current framework. The current framework is great. I love it. Don't change it unless some seriously differentiating positive value is added. Thank you, Jason C.
