I guess so, since you're mailing from root. :)

I don't have any objections as long as you can write an entire
book on it. If not you might want to include the information in the
System Admin Guide as a series of chapters---if lengthy enough
you and Lars would co-author that book. 

I think it's a good idea, although I do think you should cover
the advanced topics as well. (Why not?)
