Sure.. But again, who's gonna write them?? We're trying our best to
accomodate everyone but it's not gonna happen if not a lot of people are
contributing.

I can provide a comparison on how to install Fedora and Gentoo. Heck, I
can even write the darn article myself. However, it again comes down to,
Am I gonna be the only writer? :-)

Actually I believe that the best bet for ppl to learn about linux/OSS in
general is to hear from newbies like yourself. Tell them how easy it is
to use from a newbie's perspective. No point hearing it from people who
are already used to it. We won't be able to know what is hard / easy for
newbies. 

Remember, one man's meat is another man's poison.

How about it? Can you write about your experiences?
