I think this is a good idea, but I wonder how it will be different from
the information at:
http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/
In general I have found it very difficult to get authors to _maintain_
their documentation. Maybe it is better to use the Linux On Laptops as a
resource to pull out the "best of the web" and put them into a standard
structure?
I would definitely be interested in seeing how this progresses,
