In Fedora, a push has been made to move all such user.group usage over to user:group, specifically so that . can appear in a user/group name. Eventually, I believe user.group usage will be removed from coreutils.

I def like the HOWTOs, just not sure how much people will like them of if they'll find even a stage3 gentoo box intimidating...Not to be rude, but please no comments for or against gentoo.
