I haven't been able to find the old Admin Guide in cvs. There are references
to it in the following mails:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-doc-list/2000-February/msg00105.html
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-doc-list/2000-August/msg00010.html
Do these jog anyone's memory?

Some good points there Sasha. We will add those to the list of possible topics.
The abandoned GNOME Admin Guide might be worth a look if only for historical
reasons.
Thanks,
