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 David Merrill <david@lupercalia.net>, as well as the free portion of the
current Linux HOWTOs, written by several authors and coordinated by Guylhem
Aznar <guylhem@metalab.unc.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.

As of September 2003 this package is maintained by a team at
pkg-doc-linux-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org, currently with three members:
Colin Watson, Doug Jensen and Frank Lichtenheld. The Debian-specific part of
this package is maintained in a Subversion repository
(http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-doc-linux/).

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/

The HTML version of the RedHat-CD-HOWTO has been removed, since it contains
i386-only binaries.

Other changes made were:

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

The documents in this package fall under a variety of DFSG-free licences,
all listed below.
