It's 200p + 80 p appendixes. Free to download at: http://tinyurl.com/6f8xuo You must then go to (down the page, 'attachments'): Introduction_to_FS--SELF.pdf 2.09 MB for the book, and to: Introduction_to_FS--SELF_errata.pdf 38.18 KB for the errors (a few) A print version is also available, but even at costprice, pricey: Euro 11 + postage (add the same amount...). So what you could do is to print it on locale and distribute it around. The whole thing is of course copyleft! ------------------------- (*) Now formally terminated, and is being continued thru the Free Knowledge Institute (http://www.freeknowledge.eu/) (**) After that book I decided to do away with the cumbersome, confusing, and ill-defined 'Open Source'. For me it's now Free Software all the way. Never mind people who still think it's about beer... ;-) Cheers to all, patrizio & Diiiinooos! -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work _______________________________________________ Ilug-cal-discuss mailing list Ilug-cal-discuss-PMNjqutUrVNkNBGiPgg+Odi2O/[email protected] http://list.ilug-cal.org/mailman/listinfo/ilug-cal-discuss
