This is the Debian GNU/Linux 'doc-linux' package. It provides the current
Linux-FAQ, written by Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk> and now maintained
by Robert Kiesling <rkiesling@mainmatter.com>, as well as the current Linux
HOWTOs, written by several authors and coordinated by Greg Hankins
<gregh@cc.gatech.edu>.

This package was put together by Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
from the sources at ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO and 
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/faqs/linux-faq. Its previous
maintainers were Ian Murdock, Dirk Eddelbuettel, and Marco Budde.

Additional documents have been taken from the following sources:

  * High-Availability HOWTO:
    ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/ALPHA/linux-ha/
  * ext3-usage HOWTO:
    http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/ext3/ext3-usage.html
  * ext3 mini-HOWTO:
    http://www.symonds.net/~rajesh/howto/ext3/

Other changes made were:

  * Some relative hyperlinks were converted into absolute links to documents
    on www.linuxdoc.org.
  * Added the Debian package maintenance system.
