Please add your experiences to the TWiki. If you've not done any TWiki editing before there is a beginner's section in the Index. It's very easy, and you can either copy edit styles from other bits on the same page, or you can add things with basic html tags if necessary. You get a chance to preview and correct if necessary, and you can always ask for help if you need it ;-) Anne - -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet?
