I think its presence in TLDP implies that it's Linux related, and if
it's unrelated then it should go elsewhere. Are the Samba howtos all
"Samba on Linux" should Joe-Command-Reference be
Joe-For-Linux-Command-Reference, etc?

The message you included in own reply says very well that you did
suggest a name change however.. You have me [for one] totally baffled
here
Coffee may be unhealthy to drink, but I understand that a whole lot of
people will drink it anyway, and if they can somehow use Linux to help
with their coffee brewing,
and they really want to document it...
Well, at the very least it seems like it might be intriguing
