Hey Will,
I'm the guy who spoke to you a few weeks ago about getting onto
eGroups. I finally got my exim config up and working and plan on
writing how to set it up along with this subject once I get it working.
(Probably after the holidays, there is so much to do!) Anyway, you
should still write about it. I may be able to contribute to it and
together we can fill in any gaps the other might miss. When I was brand
new to Debian (though I still consider myself a novice) I didn't know or
understand the half of what I could really do with it!! I am finally
starting to realize just how powerful it is and trying to take advantage
of that.

P.S. I have a sgml template and hope to write a small howto to setup
and use sgml-tools under Debian (I've been looking at Debiandoc as
well). It really is much easier than the other distro's (I found that
out when our local LUG talked about how to install it under their
distro's). I was the first one who had it up and working (less than 5
minutes with about 1 hour of reading, total time 65 minutes, and then I
was typing and rendering away) Anyway, the template is at
http://personal.mco.bellsouth.net/~jgoerz. It's not completely finished
(but is any user contributed work ever?)
