Dear friends Last night i sent a reply to this thread. My mailbox is not showing it. And, from Sumeet Madhukar Moghe's reply it seems my entry did not reach the list. So, i am posting the same content once again, with two minor points added. If it already reached you, please bear with me. << I think one or two things i must chip in here. 1. a few of the chapters are given for download at the site: www.geocities.com/ddipankardas 2. all the chapters and many other things related directly or obtusely to the book will be available pretty soon on fsf site (Sayamindu is going to Bomaby on 17th, he will carry the CD where i burned all the required files to Dr. Nagarjuana of FSF-India) 3. the cost that Tathagata cited is for 1000 copies of the book 4. you can directly write to GLT-Madhyamgram, the organization from which the book started going in the form of a series of loosely woven sequel of tutorials. GlTs id is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 5. it is an apology once again, and that too is actually a subject matter of the eleventh chapter of this book: the incompleteness in the GLinux armor that makes us use proprietary softwares till now in some particular areas, that the book was written with proprietary softwares, the Bangla thing is still underprepared for very huge chunks of work in GLinux methods. And hence, you will have to get the chapters only in pdf forms. 6. At this point, if anyone wants it, i will be very pleased to provide him on a CD: it takes around 6.5 mb, the prerelease version. The final version is kept back for hard print, as a part of the decision taken by a lot of us in LUG and GLT that included, among others, Ashesh Sengupta, Dr. Nagarjuna, Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay, Sayamindu Dashgupta, Tathagata Bandopadhyay fand Ashesh Sengupta and me from FSF, GlT and LUG. >> 7 the sum of money is around 100k, as Tathagata mentioned. 8 and the 'a3' is a minor typo, it should be 'a4' in Tathagata's mail. And, as i said, you can write directly to glt, or to me if you want the details how you can help us. Or, obviously you can write to Tathagata or FSF-WB.
