Hi there,
I'd be glad to go on record as a potential customer for a good inexpensive
tutorial and I believe there'd be a real on-going market for such. It
would probably be a good idea to get a "standard system" configuration
that we could likely obtain without too much trouble, so that the
instructions would apply to most of us.

Hi Thomas and list.
As someone who is relatively new to Linux myself i must say that Thomas'
idea isn't too bad.
I realize that undertaking such a venture requires a substantial amount
of time, further putting his work into an universally accessible format
and placing it on media, in wav format on casettes or cds for example,
then shipping it does cost money, sand I know to or think at least that
it's Thomas' intent to make it rich doig tutorials, he just sees the
value of this work and sees the fact that it might help someone so a fee
to at least recover costs of production is indeed reasonable.
If I can help by contributing feedback as a relative newbie feel free to
contact me via private email or via the list.
Regards,
Ed Barnes

Am I mistaken or are there not some thingies out there that can be
assembled such as acb radio tutorials on this and also does not nbp have
some material that could be blended in as well? I would love material
to read but I'd rather have it in text form.

Hi Thomas. In the case on Linux, wouldn't you want people to contribute
distro-specific installation instructions if they are using the tape as a
Linux installation guide? Or do you intend on making the tutorial speakup
only? I'm just saying because if you intend to provide distro-specific
instructions, I can contribute with anything specific to Debian. Let me
know if I am interpreting this the wrong way.
Gates go to hell, your OS is waiting for you there!
