Well, I know, for example, that I wrote up an SxS for moving a
production system from simple storage to RAID (RAID for idiots)

While I hadn't made any changes to that SxS, it has disappeared.  I
googled for it and grabbed a copy from cache.  I used that copy just
recently to make sure I didn't forget anything.  While "old" (and
perhaps bit-rotted), it is still 99% correct, and the older portions
really don't affect the steps themselves.

When I have time, I'll update it and repost.  Meanwhile, I could post
more stuff, but have no idea how much interest there is in some of the
things I've been working on (like IPv6, madwifi stuff, etc.).  I also
don't know if folks want to see distro-agnostic with distro-specific
stuff or what mix.  In some cases, I can give instructions on
Debian-specific and distro agnostic (which will work for Slack), but
don't have time (or the desire) to d/l and install an RPM distro to
see how the dark side works.

And if it weren't a Linux-specific site, I'd post on Open|Free|Net BSD as well.

Ciao,
