Noted; change "And" to "Also,".  Actually, losing the first paragraph
entirely is probably appropriate.

There's what I thought was a pretty good explanation in the sample
message.  Perhaps I should reference that in the earlier section where I
mention the various porting aids.  Or maybe I should give a shortened
description there.  Comments?

I didn't want to review each entry, as I don't think I'm qualified to do
so, and as it might be more devisive than useful.  How about if I list
the URL after each entry so that people can at least see where the page
is coming from?

Since I finally got a response from Tim Bynum, I'd like to wait till we
get his thoughts on it and see if it's a candidate for inclusion in the
Linux Documentation Project.  At that point (whether the answer is yes
or no) I think we can make the announcement.  It has been mentioned on
Linux Weekly News and in a post I put on one of the InfoWorld fora, so I
suspect there may be some peripheral awareness of it in the community
already.
