Although Bruce always told me that the charge was not for Debian developers marketing Debian products, that really isn't the reason. I am only the author. I signed an NDA with the Publisher. Linux Press makes all announcements about "The Debian User's Guide" distribution and sales. BTW, I never saw the original posting of this thread, so thanks Johnie for replying ;-) Luck, Dwarf -- _-_-_-_-_- Author of "The Debian Linux User's Guide" _-_-_-_-_-_- aka Dale Scheetz Phone: 1 (850) 656-9769 Flexible Software 11000 McCrackin Road e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tallahassee, FL 32308 _-_-_-_-_-_- If you don't see what you want, just ask _-_-_-_-_-_-_-
