well. It would be much better if you could contact the
authors and take over maintainance of these docs and
merge them together along with your content. We dont
want to add to the problem of having multiple docs
with similar content confusing the end users

please move fedora specific stuff like up2date to the

the content looks pretty reasonable. Take a look at
the existing howtos and make you are presenting
something unique. We can do a better review of this
document when the content is available
