I think
- HOWTO: Simpler documents that describe how to set sysmtems up and use.
- FAQ: Documents that list question and answer for subjects.
- Other: Books/Articles/Manuals/References describe subjects in detail and much
longer than HOWTO. (?)
For a long time, I thougt HOWTO is docuement for "quick start". Isn't it?
