Gentle folks,

It looks to me that you have a big problem. I consider you as 'gurus' of
Linux. I also consider you don't need (almost) all HOWTOs because you
*know* Linux. But, do you think of all those newbies who should be able
to find HOWTOs and all other documents as soon as possible? A newbie is
not familiar with a /usr directory. A newbie is not familiar with a
/share directory etc etc. Instead of that I think it would be advisible
to avoid so complicated tree and put HOWTOs and other documents in a
/doc or /help directory. I can't understand why a simple /doc directory
is not placed anymore.
