Note that this is part of the Linux Documentation Project. I think we should avoid using the term HOW-TO for FreeBSD documentation to avoid confusion. Not only confusion with the location of documents, but also confusion of the methods and objectives of small documents for the two documentation projects, in case they differ. There is no reason why we might not refer people to the LDP as appropriate, and vice versa, using the two naming schemes in the one breath in the future. If we are going to assemble short documents and want to give them a name, I suggest we think up a better one, real quick. -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
