I also bother about the "howto" sugestion. So I would like to know more about LWN's understanding of "howtos". What I would like is a "howto" approach similar to the "Grumpy" Editor articles. Just taking a real world problem, e.g. remote desktop/ssh access to a colleagues desk and giving an overview about possible solutions and there advantages/disadvantages. IMHO to try to replace or enhance The Linux Documentation Project by creating detailed step by step howtos doesn't make sense. Even in a portal to tldp.org I see little value.

Just taking a real world problem, e.g. remote desktop/ssh access to a colleagues desk and giving an overview about possible solutions and there advantages/disadvantages.As you put it that way, I can see potential. It might even (as sometimes the grumpy editor reviews do) point out problems for which we have no entirely satisfactory solution. So despite my reservations, I would like to see a trial. Most howtos only step you through one approach, but critical, comparative analysis is harder to find, and could play to LWN's strengths.
