My two bits. If I have any say in this, I'd say it would be great for
LDP to cover any pan-Unix topics, as long as they are not highly
specific to a particular non-Linux Unix. For instance, if the Solaris
/proc structure is very different from that of Linux, it shouldn't be
documented in a "Solaris /proc HOWTO" under Linux. Everything else
could be included.
