Thanks to the several dozen others who sent comments or good word to us. We always appreciate any feedback. We received no flames so far :-) . Thanks to the few thousands who developed GNU/Linux.
Other matters
You can see that this guide was written by newbies for newbies. It should never be considered an authoritative source on any subject--there are much more exhaustive docs, typically more difficult to read too :-), most of them available right on your Linux system in the directory /usr/doc . Please e-mail us immediately if you spot a mistake that can confuse or mislead a new Linux user--this work is in progress and the current version may contain such mistakes. Don't use this guide if your life was to depend on it!

If this is not clear, you can link to it, mirror it, copy it, quote it briefly or extensively, print it, translate it, send it to your friend or customer, distribute it, etc. , without our permission. Just be fair, preserve the copyright notice and keep it free (i.e., GPLed). We will be only glad if you let us know how you used our guide.
Hope this helps. Best regards, the Klimases.
