1.1. Proposed new documents

Martin A. Brown, the author of Traffic Control tcng-HTB HOWTO, wrote a new one plainly called Traffic Control HOWTO. It is more detailed than the first HOWTO, introducing core concepts of traffic control systems to users and system administrators who want to deploy traffic control in their networks. Martin is eager to publish it and awaits your comments.
Expect a Installing and Running Linux under a Virtual PC from Chris Gehlker.

Christophe Devine posted the first draft of his Encrypted Root Filesystem HOWTO. The document, like any other that gets into the collection needs review. Over to Tabatha.
