While we are at it, let me bring in some good news.  Andrew Hudson alias 
Andy who is the co-author of Fedora 4 Unleashed and the reviewer of 
Fedora Core 4 in Linux format magazine and has somehow read my request 
to have a copy of the review in the response to a Fedora forum posting 
that was pointed out earlier has contacted me off list and asked whether 
I would want a copy. Of course, I promptly said yes and got a PDF soon 
enough. (I am not allowed to redistribute in a public website without 
permission. Interested community marketing members can get a copy on 
request offline) and also expressed his interest to participate in the 
Fedora Docs project after clarifying some details from Sams publishing. 
I am reading through the interesting review now and will respond back to 
him and this list in detail later. 

regards
Rahul
