Well, perhaps partially, and soon :-) This was on c.o.l.announce not long ago; I meant to bring it up then. I was really pleased to hear it: At Matt Welsh's request, Specialized Systems Consultants has taken over the maintenance of Matt's book "Linux Installation & Getting Started". This book can be found on the web at http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/LDP/gs/gs.html It can also be accessed through SSC's Linux Resources Page, http://www.ssc.com/linux/ under The Linux Documentation Project. "Linux Installation and Getting Started is an installation and new-user guide for the Linux system, meant for Unix novices and Gurus alike. It contains information on how to obtain Linux, installation of the software, a beginning tutorial for new Unix users, and an introduction to system administration. It is meant to be general enough to be applicable to any distribution of the Linux software." Currently, SSC is working on a new installation chapter just for the Debian Linux release, and has plans to do chapters related to each of the major distributions. If you have any suggestions or corrections pertaining to this book, please send them to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (There's nothing Debian-specific in those versions on the web yet.) Does anyone on the list happen to know more about this; anyone working with them yet? -- Ed Donovan [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
