[Chris <cyber.druif@xxxxxxxxx>]

I know it's late where I am, but anyhow. I think it's a better idea to
split the FAQ into Beginner, Intermediate and Experienced then Guides and
Workarounds.
As I'm still working on getting a proper job and it not being a one-man
team I *would* like some help in determining the level of the FAQ's.

This can be done by adding ##comments to the different entries.

With metta, Chris
