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
