Good idea! Let's make that #4: Fedora Guide to Power-User Tweaks. Are
you volunteering to create and edit it? (I wasn't volunteering to head
a project to create defaults, so you can say no to this as well.)
Rahul agreed to edit if someone would write. Anyone care to start
compiling something? This would make a great starter project for
someone new to the docs process.
