Was, is and will be. If the grammar's bad, please do excuse me :)

Can do, will do.

That last line (other cool features) links to a features.html page (maybe

There _is_ a glossary under construction. Said glossary will also include
a lot of *nix terminology I don't want to explain in the main text (stuff
like $home, configure, make, rpm and such)
