******************************************************
ANNOUNCING: The NEW Dr Linux -3rd Edition- is now shipping from a
bookstore or Linux reseller near you (or from one of the sources listed at
the end of this message).
Dr Linux - Just what the Doctor ordered!
The complete works of the Linux Documentation Project in convenient printed
form, the very latest versions downloaded July 1st 1995!
Highlights:
Hot off the net!
The contents of this book were downloaded off of the Internet archives on
July 1st, 1995. Our printer's direct-to-plate printing technology has
enabled us to cut months off of our turnaround time on Dr Linux, which in
the fast changing world of Linux technology is crucial.
Easy to Read!
A larger page size and better text formatting has allowed us to stick with a
readable size of print, on regular paper.
The addition of section tabs enables you to locate the section you require
instantly.
More Content - Same Number of pages!
As the amazingly productive contributors to the Linux Documentation Project
have added additional important text to their existing contributions, and
added whole new documents, the amount of information in Dr Linux has grown.
Our most important contribution to this edition was in getting all this
additional material into the same number of pages. This was accomplished
by staying with a larger format of book and using much better text layout.
Lower International Shipping costs!
Using a higher grade but lighter paper has enabled us to reduce the weight
of Dr Linux by a full 1/2 pound.

Our Contribution to the LDP and its Authors:
Like all Linux vendors we understand and appreciate that this amazing
technology, and these documents in particular, are a labor of love on the
part of many volunteers. We are grateful for the existence of the Linux
Documentation Project headed by Matt Welsh as it simplifies our decision as
to who to donate funds to. For each copy of Dr Linux sold $1 will be donated
to the Linux Documentation Project with our thanks.
