Categories are primarily for visibility in the agenda. I use them to
remind myself what project or "area of responsibility" an item belongs
to. If I label a particular project with the category "article", I can
easily identify tasks belonging to that project. E.g., tasks from the
following project...
,----
| * PROJECT Write article
:PROJECT:
| :PROPERTIES:
| :CATEGORY: article
| :END:
| ** TODO Do some online research
:computer:
| SCHEDULED: <2010-01-13 Wed>
| ** TODO Outline article
:rwb:
| SCHEDULED: <2010-01-13 Wed>
`----
...appear as follows in the agenda:
,----
| Day-agenda (W02):
| Wednesday 13 January 2010
| article: Scheduled: TODO Do some online research
:computer:
| article: Scheduled: TODO Outline article
:rwb:
`----
Thanks to the category, I can see what project the otherwise cryptic "Do
some online research" belongs to.

This syntax for categories has been deprecated. Better to use
properties, as in the example above.

Refile completion follows the hierarchy of your outline. Thus, once you
have limited the results to linux.org/general, org-refile will only
offer you subtrees belonging to "general." If you want more flexible
completion, you can fiddle around with the variables
org-refile-use-outline-path, org-completion-use-ido,
and org-outline-path-complete-in-steps.
Best,
Matt
