I had at some point but gave up( Started it during my exam session stupid me ;-) so I didn't have enought time) I called it the power user guide or whatever it might still be around somewhere.

But I will give a try again. I will probably name it something like LinuxForWindowsPowerUsers. Should be clear enought ;-)
