"Quality 101" is so vague I can't comment on it. Can you be a bit more
specific, please?

"Essential Linux Concepts" is certainly a good topic, but there are many
other HOWTOs with some of this information. One is the
UNIX-and-Internet-Fundamentals-HOWTO. We all know that Linux != UNIX,
but they are still really, really similar. Be sure to read it before you
start work; perhaps you could improve the existing HOWTO rather than
writing a new one (although it is one of the better-maintained HOWTOs
(maintained by esr)).

Look in the "Linux OS" section for some more. The URL is
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/os.html

An outline of the content you propose to cover would give us something
easier to discuss than a simple title. I have seen from your posts on
other topics (btw, how is the cataloging project going?) that you start
at a really high level and then drill down into details. This is fine,
except that it's hard to discuss things with other people when we don't
(yet) see your vision.
