Hi Don,<br>
<br>
What I'm surprised with, is that it's not free. <br>
- Not free in what it costs, but since it is the goal to clear that up
it's only a good example, and most of the first open-source programs
were not free in terms on money.<br>
- But it's also not free in he sense of not open-source. Sure the book
has to be bought, the but sxw sources are not avaiblable either. <br>
<br>
I didn't know you were to have people pay for this paper, and I was
wondering about packaging it for ichthux, but I guess I cannot package
for Debian something that is not free...<br>
<br>
Anyway this is a great work, and seems very interesting to read. I know
quite a lot of people who would like to read such a paper about
open-source :)<br>
<br>

Well, I finished "Penguin in the Pew", and thought y'all would want to know<br>that it is available through <a href="http://Lulu.com">Lulu.com</a>. Currently, you'll want to avoid the<br>printed edition - once I've had time to ensure the quality (get my review
<br>copy), and have approved the book, you'll be o.k. ordering that as well. I<br>anticipate that the print edition will follow about two or three weeks from<br>now.<br><br>The 'ol storefront is located at: <a href="http://www.lulu.com/dcparris/">

<br>the book if we can get enough orders to boost it into the Lulu BestSeller's<br>list. (I understand it doesn't take much right now.) Feel free to leave<br>reviews on the site.<br><br>Ichthux is mentioned, both in Chapter 14, and in the Guide To GNU/Linux
<br>Distros. I did get in touch with Preston (Apologetix), and he might<br>actually join this project - don't know yet. For our French brothers: a<br>Belgian brother translated the original, and should be taking up translating
<br>this edition as well. The 1.0 version should be available on the main page<br>or the Computing@ Church page(<a href="http://matheteuo.org">matheteuo.org</a>)<br><br>Blessings,<br>Don<br>--<br>evangelinux GNU Evangelist
