pn] Never heard of Doc-Book.  I'm running SuSE Linux 7.1 and can put up any
version of RH.  Are there tools on these platforms for Doc-Book?

pn] I'll have to see if I can find a source format that easily makes other
formats.  I really like PDFs because they can be active or printed in plain
'ole hard-copy.  I've personally moved beyond from using fingers/toes in
printed docs to loving links in active electronic docs.  But I understand
that when you're at the command line (which I still love), PDFs can be
frowned upon.

pn] Will do.  Thanks.
