Documentation refresh

I have refreshed a number of the pages in the Documentation Wiki and would welcome your comments.

Apart from just generally tidying stuff up - I tried to make the initial experience a little less daunting for potential and new users (without removing the warnings).

I have tried to make the selection of suitable hardware a little clearer, and the simplicity of installing a Gargoyle image more apparent. I have de-emphasised the more technical route via OpenWRT but included frequent links to the OpenWRT info.

Hopefully this will result in fewer potential users being scared off!

I have added a "Common Scenarios" page to the Gargoyle Doco Wiki.
The idea is that sometimes a worked example is an easier route to learn than trawling thru a manual.

Comments welcome (and additional scenarios)

I always like to see improved documentation so thanks for that.

I enhanced the section router hardware. IMHO if you are buying a router to run Gargoyle you should always get at least 8MB of flash.

Also I looked at your
Shared Internet connection in a Student share house
scenario. My comment here is that in my experience gamers do not cause problems for other people. Online gaming uses very little bandwidth. It is the other users who cause the gaming experience to completely get disrupted and Gargoyle is helpful in carving out a little bandwidth for the gamer to be able to do what he does. So I am curious how you came up with these scenarios? Do you know of a situation that the gamer cause other people problems? Can you describe the particulars of that case? I think you may have the justification for this scenario backwards.

I can provide my own user experience for gaming setup if you like?
PBix is correct though. It's those pesky Facebook refreshes and YouTube videos that makes me miss headshots (not my own lack of skill ;) )
