Ed-
Thanks for the explanation. I don't have any experience writing documentation specific
to Linux distributions, but I do write a lot of documentation for my job as an engineer in
the phone/cable company. I want to volunteer my services in any way I can to the
documentation project. So I'm posting this offer to the list in case anyone has any
documentation that he/she may want proof-read. I installed Fedora Core 1 a couple of weeks
ago, so I can physically work through any tutorials that will get submitted. BTW, I
haven't touched a Red Hat distro since 6.0 and when the Fedora install was completed,
I was amazed. It's come such a long way in such a short period of time.
Anyway, hope I can assist
Regards
Dan Gonzalez

There are two components to the product you're seeing on that page:
o A book written by two people unconnected with Red Hat
o A two-CD "publisher's edition" of the Fedora Core 1 operating system
(built from the full FC1 edition by the Red Hat developers)
The book is not related to the documentation I've been discussing on the
list in any way (other than they both discuss the use of a Linux operating
system). The two-CD set is related to the documentation being discussed
here only in that prior versions of the software was known as Red Hat
Linux, which is what the documentation was written to, uh, document. :-)

Well, from here I can't tell if your backside was involved in this
discussion, but it was a valid question... :-)
