I could think of several different types of articles:

o An "announcement" of DL 1.0, what it is, and what has changed since the
0.5 release.  This would be a 10,000 foot view of DL.

o An installation writeup describing a basic two nic, NAT, DHCP, Firewall
setup (using Bruce's scripts, of course!).

o A DL advocacy paper, describing the problem it solves and why people
should use it.

These are all different types of articles - and I see all three of these
types all the time.  Which would does everybody think we should use?

Also, I am comfortable using two different writing styles - a standard
serious style, or a lighter style which might include comments like "Its a
home firewall!  Its a Business firewall! No, wait - its two, two firewalls
in one!".  Any objection to the later style?
