would anyone else be interested in something like multi-port serial
boards.... maybe a few people who use them could give a bit of info about
them, hassles with them etc etc...

or something like how to make your linux box more secure... covering things
like.....
NIS, NFS, machines with no shell access, machines with limited shell access
(some users can't get a shell) and machines with full shell access (all
users can get a shell), how to stop hackers etc etc...
this could include a bit about appropriate use of permissions and groups.

I'd mainly be interested in the 2nd topic because I am looking at setting
up a machine so people can telnet in - but I want to stop them being
naughty and also want to limit how much they can use it etc etc....

just a few ideas there
