Printing. Printing sucks. The Printing HOWTO didn't work. I ended up
giving up, since I didn't really have anything to print, and I don't
have a printer anymore anyway. cat > /dev/lp0 worked ok when I did.

I think it should teach people how to fish, rather than give them fish.
Saying something is "just like Windows" is no use to those who do not
use windows.

I'd be interested. Though some people have accused me of not being
"newbie-friendly", probably because I assume people know not to look for
an 'any' key..
