Hi all, I thought the list might be interested to see that my buddies at Boot Magazine finally posted my 12-Step article on the Web:
http://www.bootnet.com/youaskedforit/12step_installinglinux.html This article came into existence after I had been bugging my friend who works at Boot about how they only write about software and hardware for Windoze OSs. They must of got sick of my nagging and said "Ok, if Linux is so great, how about you write the next 12-step on how to install it? We'll even put a small distribution on the Boot Disc." What could I do, say no? Of course not! So 3 days and 1800 words later I gave them my best effort. Now before anybody is tempted to nail me for any of the (small) errors or (large) omissions that exist in the article, I'd like to say that I don't claim to be a Unix, Linux or Debian expert, but I have dabbled with it for a few years. I just happened to be in the position to support Debian, Linux and the open source software movement, so I gave it my best shot. Also remember that 1800 words (50% more than usually is allotted for the 12-step) is a pretty tight squeeze for installing Unix. Finally understand that each of their 5 editors took a swipe at it (improving it, mostly :) before it went to print. Over all, I think it turned out pretty good. The few mentions of the article on this list seemed positive, so it looks like it helped the cause more than hurt it.
