Comments on new Linux MIPS FAQ...
First off, this is not a replacement for the awesome FAQ at SGI maintained by Ralf. The FAQ I wrote addresses 32-bit and 64-bit Linux kernel/userspace questions (well, starts to). I would greatly appreciate comments from everyone on this. You can read it here:

Please send me comments and corrections and make sure you copy the mailing list(s). After the corrections settle down a bit, we can come up with a name and get it hosted on SGI's site or the http://www.linuxmips.net/ site or even my site, I don't care.
The inspiration for this came from Matthew Dharm's questions as well as my management asking about 32-bit versus 64-bit Linux kernels and wanting to know current toolchain status. Thanks.

My impression is that the number of FAQs grows rapidly - I would like to see them all be integrated into the one and only Linux/Mips FAQ as it makes pointing people to informations a lot easier.
I dont think this distributed information storage of Linux/Mips helps keeping people together.

I agree on that one. So for anything that seems to belong into the MIPS FAQ I'll take a patch to the SGML code.
