Hello Harry and all

I've edited the page to include some of your suggestions, thanks for the 
feedback, very valuable.

I decided not to mention backports. I need to read up on apt-pinning so as not 
to end up with the backported kernels when upgrading!

I was thinking more of possible fodder for the gNewSense blog, or perhaps us 
all just putting pages up following the same headings as usesthis does for 
their 'interviews'. I wasn't suggesting yet another Web site to maintain unless 
people really want to. 'GNUses This' could be a good thing to have though.

A page about the Yeelong would be of interest as well.
