I bought it but have not read it carefully. I bought it mainly for two reasons: 1) As a show of support for your project and 2) to leave laying around for the curious budding sysadmins at work to have a look at. At least one of the Novices actually bought her own copy and got Debian installed and got ppp working (better be careful what I say, she is likely lurking this list :) I must say that I was most impressed. So, in that respect, your book seems to have been at least somewhat useful. As for hardcopy, I dunno, seems to me that the thing is changing too fast. By the time the book gets "broken in" it is obsolete since Debian tends to evolve so quickly. What I would like to see is a book in a binder where update pages can be made available at regular intervals. I would like the paper to be tough and the area around the holes to be reinforced. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
