Indirectly this is the reason. I have not been updating the pages in
the past 6 months very frequently. (cross atlantic move, and new job
has sucked up my time) However it is relatively easy to convince me
of the need for more debian stuff given that I'm also a debian
developer :)

I will at least make some links to these pages, and try to add some of
the information as well. I have been working on a new version of the
sparc pages which is 75% there, but the last push has been eluding me.

This would be very helpful.
http://www.geog.ubc.ca/s_linux/faq.txt is the raw version of the faq
(the format is mostly html, but with a couple of additions that are
preprocessed into an index and proper html, it should be fairly
self-explanitory) Diffs to that are fine (or any other format really)
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim
