Thank you Paul and Rikki,
That book looks great for people switching from xp, it's just the sort of
thing I was looking for a couple of years back. How many of these are we
looking to distribute? Are we looking to make $15.99 on each?, and do we
have any advertising budget?
I agree with Rikki that ideally we need to have these with users be the end
of the year and also that we should be looking for people New to linux
