The conversion process is done!

Now, what we need help with is the Restructuring. The first task is to find a place to put all those pages that are currently on Miscellaneous. If you can help with that, we would appriciate it. Just make a link to that page, and remove it from misc. Simple!

Thanks for the help!

What else can I do?

Well, you can always make NEW pages. :-) You can also help us search out pages containing the "r" word. (rooting) and edit them to refer to "accessing Linux".

Also, if you see badly named pages, please contact a sysop to rename them. (rboatright or Templarian)

Just post to their user page.
