I cannot agree more. Especially for this kind of book. It is a step by step guide, where each step depends on previous steps. We really did every step and tested it. You cannot do anything like this in a wiki, you need authors to access the same resources. Just getting a machine for such a project is not easy, we were lucky Mike could get his hands on one for some limited time. In wiki, you can have consistent parts, but not a consistent book. Not to mention tested book. Of course the cookbook is not perfect, there are many areas Mike would like to improve, other areas I would like to improve, but given the time constraints and resources... It helps if you go to redbooks site and give comments, they come to management... =================== Marian Gasparovic =================== "The mere thought hadn't even begun to speculate about the merest possibility of crossing my mind." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
