Only one is close to "ready" status, the updfstab-tutorial. I am
incorporating some info from Tim Waugh's site, but it should be noted
that FC3 will likely obsolete most or all of this document, as noted in
the Bugzilla entry by Bill Nottingham. See:

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=128952

Several of the other documents were submitted by subscribers to this
list. Gavin Henry sent me a link to the samba-ldap tutorial; someone
else (I apologize for forgetting the name, but I'm sure it's in the
archives) sent the ClamAV tutorial. I'll Bugzilla both of them. (*Note:
done now.)

These two tutorials still contain some atrocious style and syntax and
desperately need some rewriting. Also, I am not familiar with all the
subject matter, and would prefer that a more knowledgeable person test
the content to make sure it's valid. In the absence of a Style Guide, I
can't really demand that anyone take up the banner for these pieces
(even the original submitters), but if anyone's willing to have a go at
them, it would be appreciated.

Karsten, I was going to suggest that folks send me their patches
directly (rather than putting them in Bugzilla), so that I can prevent
conflicts in the patches, as well as retain some editorial role and
participate in the cleanup. Do you see any problems with using that
method, if only temporarily?
