Hi all,

I've done some formatting changes and minor typographical corrections. 
I've also formulated some hopefully non-contentious opinions. Changes are:

p2 - added an 'n' in 'ca not' making it 'cannot'
p4 - beautified the table, now smaller _and_ much more readable
p5,17,25 - added some whitespace around the pictures
p20 - very slight font size reduction to have all the text on one page 
TAKE NOTE OF THIS FUTURE FORMATTERS
p23 - one of the numbered lists was missing a number - added
p26 - removed unneeded quote on the last paragraph about Linux and viruses
p32 - table space in the first part of every line

I would be very grateful if all other editor could provide a changelog 
too. I have uploaded these files to the original locations as edits:

Now the opinions:

* We should mention in the IRC section that it is not necessarily a 
secure way of communicating
* The "Important" section on p21 is good, but not up to the same quality 
of writing as the rest of the booklet
* The content is generally spiffing
* Some of the picture a bit crap

Action:

* I'll look for some more picture - anyone chipping in some would be great
* Will someone look at the "Important" section on p21 please
* I'll check over the entire thing is consistent with our stlye guide

Cheers,
Ben
