Very much so - I haven't tried them just yet, but I am impressed with 
the depth of detail. You've taken a very knotty subject, and 
proceduralized it for "the rest of us"  :)

Ah so! Well that is logical - no doubt about it.

I guess I was thinking the overall organization was software/OS rather 
than hardware. But I see now that the "Guides" page shows both hardware 
(Soekris) and software/OS. I'm not sure what the "right way" is to do 
this, but you are to be commended for following Patton's Maxim: 

    "A good plan, executed today, is far better than a perfect plan 
     executed tomorrow."
