Hi :) To be more correct it should really be F.A.Q. and the dots would play even more havoc than spaces often do. Also we should always say G.N.U./Linux rather than Linux, G.N.O.M.E. and K.D.E.
However as acronyms become used more frequently they gradually drop the dots and then drop the insistence of upper-case. FAQ is old and faq or Faq is likely to become quite common.
