Like others, I like the idea of 'consolidating' information to wiki.debian.org but perhaps spreading information across sites can be good in case eg. rabid monkeys eat wiki.debian.org. Similarly, we would like for more people to use Debian, but the many other Linux distributions provide diversity and a fallback if Debian were to go away for some reason (hope not, any other would be a step down in my opinion). > Having said that even if you have a site that contains a single > page of good content and somebody stumbles upon it, solving their > problem, it is hard to regard that as a failure.

See this image for what the page looks like to me in amd64 iceweasel 3.0.6-1 (notice that black bar, and it jumps around with each mouseover): http://f.imagehost.org/0120/debiantutorials1.png
