As leading courseware providers we are frequently asked whether there are presentation slides to go with our manuals. (In fact the decision whether to purchase our manuals sometimes seems to hinge on the availability of slides rather than other criteria which to the naive observer might seem more important, like the arrangement of the content, the quality of the writing, or the presence and quality of exercises. It's a strange world.) Our position is that we would indeed like to offer slides but that there is still work to do on the manuals themselves. The slides will arrive eventually. When they do they will be in LaTeX and/or PDF. Personally I don't see what all the brouhaha concerning slides is about. Back when I was doing SuSE training there were no official slides so we would roll our own. When SuSE started making official slides available we would look at those for a bit and then *definitely* roll our own. Not every instructor even uses pre-cooked slides and those who do usually have their own ideas about what should go on them and how, so they roll their own. Pre-cooked slides mostly appear to be a checklist item to make the purchasing managers of training companies happy when they won't otherwise buy your stuff. In fact, if you're an instructor, using the pre-cooked slides probably indicates that you haven't thought enough about the material and how to teach it.
