Thanks. I assure you that I also did quite a bit of googling before posting, that's why there were ~20 items and not ~80 items! But yes, sometimes adding another keyword here or there makes all the difference in the world. I've also learned to use google.com/linux?q= instead of google.com/search?q= as the former filters out all non-linux pages. I will put up a page describing all the different files and folders for the next archive digger.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
