Priced @ 59.95, where the LINUX next door was in a box about the same size, for $29.95. Marketing-droids should note that there is no indication of the VERSION NUMBER on the box, and no indication as to how many CDs of "stuff" are inside -- both pretty important to attract first-time users, when box-size and price are the only visible factors to separate you from the nearby competitors. . . . I'm running on 2.2.7, so I just assumed that it would be a later version than what I had !! The BOOK is a great improvement over the big 3-ring binders full of web-printed pages that I've been using !!
