My experience with print magazines is that articles were conceived 4-6 months before the issue hits the street. This is shortening. Or maybe I now have a reputation or a better sense of what is in demand. I did the proofing for an article for the July issue of C/C++ Users Journal in mid-May. The editor accepted it in a couple of days after submission by e-mail. Unusually fast, I may have hit the window just right and the magazine was going to layout within days. I have had close to a dozen articles okayed by this editor. Magazines decide their editoral calendar for a year at a time. I am running SuSE 9.3, their latest release. It comes with Blackbox 0.65. Debian Woody comes with 0.62. There are only so many packages you can keep at the bleeding edge. Blackbox 0.65 does what I need. For Bacula (a backup utility) I am using the CVS version, I need the DVD support. Whatever works. *shrug* Jeffrey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
