I do plan on writing some stuff for Linux and OS X, but I need to figure out what exactly I am going to write and how to write it. I also need to figure out time....

If you were wanting to read about either subject, what would you like to see? Suggestions?

A networking 101! :)

A general introduction, how to get it running, the pros and cons, lots of pictures and information, how to use wine etc.

Can I do one on computer build budget guides? IDK about the title really, I would just break it up into sections, starting at around 300 until like 2000. done it before on another site, brought in more traffic, then the guy decided he didn't want to do the blog anymore and everything got deleted :(((((

I'd really like a 101 for networking as well, Bob told me that tlarkin would be one of the few that would know enough to get us started with one so I'm recommending him for the job. :)

Look at the other guides for a kind of 'template'.

  • A general overview is always good, giving a short description about Linux/OSX and why and in what cases they should be chosen.
  • The pros and cons in each area, like Macs are good for moving editing and such, gaming is kind of limited etc.
  • Guides on how some applications can be used to increase the functionality of the OS to act more like windows (Wine, etc).
  • Anything else you might feel is valuable, like explaining why Macs cost more than PCs with similar parts and such.

This is just my opinion, but in my opinion and experience I like tech documents to come in this format:

What?

How?

Why?

Where what outlines what you are doing, introduction maybe a bit of background but do not digress too far. How explains the how to, and then last and I think most importantly you put the why you would want to do your goal this exact way. That way there is an understanding of what you are trying to accomplish and keeps it simple and to the point.

Just my 2 cents...
