This is precisely the sort of things we will be carrying in the mag,
and already we have a couple of folks who have put up their hands
with their versions of HOWTO $something..and Jonathan Oxer has
alread done a great Debain rant, (in the first edtion).. 
Hopefully Jonathan, will be able to continue to find time to write
on a regular basis for the mag :)

If you find something good Trevor, can you be sure to share it 
with us all.. then I can chase up the authour for permission to 
reprint on the linmag pages.

Thanks
Kim
