Linux HOWTOs are documents which describe in detail a certain
aspect of configuring or using Linux. For example, there is the
Installation HOWTO, which gives instructions on installing
Linux, and the Mail Administrator HOWTO, which describes how to
set up and configure mail under Linux. Other examples include
the Net HOWTO and the Printing HOWTO. HOWTOs are comprehensive
docs - much like an FAQ but generally not in question-and-answer
format. However, many HOWTOs contain a FAQ section at the end.
There are several HOWTO formats available: plain text,
PostScript, PDF, and HTML.
