2. Updated HOWTOs, FAQs and Guides

• David Braun published v1.5 of his Disk Encryption HOWTO, which has minor updates.
• In v1.1.6 of Daniel Nofftz's Athlon Powersaving HOWTO you'll find more info about commandline-hacks and the athcool tool.
• Claudio Cattazzo and Manuele Rampazzo rewrote the Italian HOWTO. The previous version was rather outdated, so they did a nearly-from-scratch job. Also refer to the Italian Linux Documentation Project over at PLUTO.
