That wasn't clear enough. I meant the difference between the Windows 
file system (C:\, D:\, My Documents), and the Linux file system (/usr, 
/home, etc)

Hadn't really thought about that, but yeah, that's a pretty good idea. I 
think it we were talking about making it available online and in PDF 
format, so the wiki is a good idea for both, assuming you can upload 
files to the wiki (I've only written one wiki article so far).

Yeah I don't expect much, I don't think that would be fair. Just a push 
in the right direction where needed I guess ;)

I'd like to do this project separately but together, if that makes 
sense... basically, adding our project separately, but sharing any 
ideas/documents that come our way that could help the other out. I'll be 
in contact with you again, I'll talk to the others who were interested, 
and we'll go from there.

Thanks very much!
