--- Comment #1 from Peter Hurley <[email protected]> --- Or remove it altogether, and let the distros maintain their own console(4) page that reflects the actual setup.
FWIW, Debian and derivatives don't install this page and Fedora is stripped down to near meaninglessness.

--- Comment #2 from Michael Kerrisk <[email protected]> --- So, I'm not averse to deleting this page. It has seen no substantial updates since it was first written in 1994. Marko, what are your thoughts?
Cheers,
Michael

--- Comment #3 from Marko Myllynen <[email protected]> --- Yeah, might be probably best just to drop the page, otherwise it would need to be entirely rewritten, in current form it doesn't offer anything helpful or even correct information. Thanks.
