And why did you decide to fork it instead of just linking to it? ¿So that people don't have to dig in the website? Com'on. You cannot expect harden-doc (for example) to provide an incomplete manual for offline reading (PDF,HTML,whatever). What if the person doesn't have an inet connection?

I'm reluctant to have web-only documentation (such as the security FAQ). People want: 1.- documentation that can be read offline 2.- documentation that can be pretty-printed I'm not forking the security-FAQ I'm copying it into a document format that provides both. We are not giving our web-site on the CD-ROMs (maybe we should) but we are providing harden-doc as a package with this documentation. I'ts a pity that people think that bandwith is un-expensive all over the world or that everyone has free-Internet access. Even if it's common, and a plus, we don't have to take for granted that users have both. > > > Will do.

I had already linked to the DD's reference before you sent the patch BTW. The Securing Debian section was introduced *before* it was written in the DD's reference. I will sync with the Security's FAQ, but I will *not* remove it. I will add a link refering to the main (approved) document. But it makes much more sense to have a FAQ in the Manual that *includes* the Security Team's. And it's not a fork. Best regards Javi
