1.1. Fresh@LDP

• The Traffic Control HOWTO by Martin A. Brown explains the implementation of queuing, scheduling, shaping and dropping of packets on Linux.
• Our German friends translated the LVM HOWTO a while ago, apparently, but it only got announced on the Deutsches Linux HOWTO Projekt homepage last week.

1.2. Proposed new documents

This section would have been empty again if it wasn't for the initiative of your weekly news editors ;-)

• We decided to support Sergiusz Pawlowicz's proposal for a HOWTO stand up and turn off TV. We would like this document to be a joint effort, and since you've had some time to think about it, we gather that by now you probably have to refrain yourselves from sending in a mail to us to share your ideas ;-)

1.3. Submitted for review

• Armin would like to find out if anyone can use his Oracle 6i Forms and Reports Server and Client HOWTO. Have a look and let him know!
• Daniel Nofftz submitted v1.1.0 of his Athlon Powersaving HOWTO, but requests us to bear with him until it has been reviewed.
• Clemens Lee submitted the first version of the Debian Binary Package Building HOWTO, which explains how to create .deb packages. However, he's not happy with the title and awaits suggestions to change it. This is the chance for those readers who are always sighing how they can't contribute anything to Open Source because they're just not the technical kind of person. You don't have to know anything about Linux in order to help TLDP authors to create good documents. Sometimes it's enough to just come up with a bit of inspiration for a good title!
• Miroslav Skoric sent in several updates: he is the author of the FBB Packet Radio mini-HOWTO, the LILO mini-HOWTO and the Linux+WinNT mini-HOWTO. Don't mix up that last one with Bernd Reichert's NT OS Loader + Linux mini-HOWTO!
• From Ian Ward we received for review the Debian and Windows Shared Printing mini-HOWTO, v1.2.

2.1. HOWTOs

• It is hard to keep track with David Lawyer. Here is v2.20 of his Serial HOWTO.
• Read Eric Raymond's Unix and Internet Fundamentals HOWTO for a kickstart no-nonsense introduction to computers, Linux and Internet.

3.1. Birthday Wishes from Lars Wirzenius

The formal TLDP 10th anniversary news was sent out by Stein Gjoen. Lars Wirzenius seems to recall that TLDP started as early as 1992 and possibly before that. Is it the said truth of the information age that we forget our history? Next thing we know, there have always been flying cars and brain plugins around...

3.2. Stale LDP Documents

If you are unhappy about the status of a document that has not been updated since some time, you should be able to replace the original document after writing if from scratch (for copyright reasons)

3.3. Govt. Support for Linux

Though Off-topic, Shuvam Mishra's update on the Indian government's support for free software is interesting.

3.4. Linux Kernel 0.01 Commentary

If you had problems accessing the Linux Kernel Commentary v0.01 by Pramode C. E., you should try accessing his updated URL.
