Rob,
Ok, sounds good, I understand about the copyright issue, however that begs
the question how other software companies do it? Anyway my vote would be
Ubuntu, but we would have to agree a version so that the screenshots
are consistent. Have you had other feedback?
Personally, I don't think there is legal risk here. Perhaps other
book authors/publishers agree in that. But since some on the mailing
list have expressed this concern, and I see other websites claim that
it is nebulous, I don't have a problem with using Linux for the
screenshots. It is similar enough that Windows and Mac users should
not be confused.

Hi all;
If there is lack of consensus on whether there is legal risk or not then
the best way to go is to use a Linux variant. We can put a Note in the
Introduction that the appearance of some elements will differ from what
they see in the documentation.

I am not sure what the next steps are, so please let me know what I can do
to help.
Thanks,
Mike
