Glad you like it.

Of course you can add on topics to the guide. Just write it in the same
manner and i'll gladly put it in (full credits to the person that posted
it)

The objective of the guide is to be a one stop reference guide for new
users. Just follow the exact steps and you'll get it workin.

Regarding your zip drive, i don't own one... so can't help/research
much :( Maybe u could :)

I would be honored to have it there, but i'll definately remove it :P I
like the idea of clean desktop. 

Btw, things coming up...
1) remote administration (ssh) from linux / windows
2) sendmail (internal email system / fetchmail / pop / smtp)
3) gateway (share internet connection / filter who can use and not)

for 2 and 3... i need some time for research as the last time i managed
to configure it was with redhat 7.3 (if i remember the version
correctly)
