+TODO
+
+maybe spell out "config" to "configuration" as appropriate
+
+Use American versus British spelling
+
+not critical, but for later consider cleaning out some use of
+"there" and rewrite to not be so passive.
+
+make sure use of \elink shows URL in printed book
+
+get rid of many references of "Red Hat" -- too platform specific?
+
+remove references to names, like "Dan Langille shared ..."
+just put their names in credits for book
+
+don't refer to very old software by specific version such as
+"Red Hat 7" or FreeBSD 4.9 because is too old to put in book. It may be
+relevant, but may be confusing. Maybe just remove the version number
+if applicable.
+
+maybe fine, but discuss point-of-view: don't use personal "I" or
+possessive "my" unless that is consistent style for book.
+
+replace "32 bit" and "64 bit" with "32-bit" and "64-bit" respectively.
+It seems like more popular style standard
+
+be consistent with "Note" and "NOTE". maybe use tex header for this
+
+get rid of redundant or noisy exclamation marks
+
+style for "ctl-alt-del" and "ctl-d"? and be consisten with formatting
+
+be consistent for case for ext3, ext2, EXT3, or EXT2.
+
+fix spelling of "inspite" in source and in docs (maybe use "regardless
+in one place where I already changed to "in spite"
+
+be consistent with software names, like postgres, postgresql, PostreSQL
+and others
+
+instead of using whitehouse for examples, use example.org (as that is defined
+for that usage); also check other hostnames and maybe IPs and networks
+
+use section numbers and cross reference by section number or page number
+no underlining in book (this is not the web :)
+
+some big gaps between paragraphs or between section headers and paragraphs
+-- due to tex -- adjust as necessary to look nice
+
+don't include the GPL and LGPL in book. This will save 19 (A4) pages.
+For 6x9 book this will save 30 pages. (Keep GFDL though.)
+
+many index items are too long
+
+appendices not listed as appendix
+
+some how consolidate indexes into one? on 6x9, the indexes are over 30 pages
+
+don't refer to some website without including URL also
+(such as "this FreeBSD Diary article")
+
+get rid of (R) trademark symbols -- only use on first use; for example
+don't put on the RPM Packaging FAQ
+
+split up very long paragraphs, such as "As mentioned above, you will need ..."
+(on my page 783).
+
+use smaller font or split up long lines (especially from
+console output which is wider than printed page)
+
+don't assume all BSD is "FreeBSD"
+
+don't assume all "kernel" is Linux. If it is Linux, be clear.
