Feedback on my first post

[Sudheer]

Hello,

I posted draft content to Apache Web Server under the "How to configure 
multiple domains on same host" section. This is the first time I added 
content to the Wiki. I would like to hear your feedback on the same.

    I liked what you have but suggest a few changes. Rather than the 
su-c command replace that with the words " using a root terminal do 
these things". Most people know how to do that with su - . I was 
confused by your referance listing. I thought it should be better defined.

    I subscribed to your page and will watch it grow. It is much needed.

Karl

Actually, 'su -c' is the recommended usage for our guides.  That usage
works at any terminal and thus one need not insert additional references
to how to get a root shell.

Thanks for your valuable feedback, Karl. I intend to edit the document 
to improve its quality. I wanted to know what part of it needs most 
attention at the moment.

I agree that we all should follow the recommended usage to maintain 
consistency in our documents.  Most of the people who know about su - 
would also know about su -c, IMO.

Further feedback is welcome.

    Well that is new for Fedora docs. I have lots of Red Hat docs from 
way back and they all use the "in a root terminal" as standard. I agree 
su -c is a working way but it is also a pain-in-the-ass if you have a 
good root password :-)
