Build Your Own Distro doesn't mention Fedora? (fwd)

[Greg DeKoenigsberg]

Jonathan, something to consider in your tactics discussion -- how do we 
get more favorable articles into print magazines?

Hello, Greg--

Thanks for your message. I just wanted to let you know that the reason we 
didn't provide an article on the Fedora customization tools is that we've 
already covered them. We had an article on livecd-creator and Revisor in our 
December 2007 issue:

http://www.linux-magazine.com/issues/2007/85/original_spin

BTW: We also included a screenshot and description of these spin tools  in our 
August 2007 issue, which came with a Fedora 7 DVD.

The Fedora tools were actually the first ones we wrote about.

We're very interested in providing good coverage of Fedora, so let me know if 
you can think of other interesting and original Fedora tools or features that 
might be a good topic for an article.

Best regards,
