What if I thought the target market not being tapped were people =>who already had Windows do something to their brains? The only way =>to win these people over is fire with fire, IMO. My only 'failure' so far in my distribution of fbsd cd-rom's (thanks Jordan!!!) was a guy who wanted something more 'windoze' oriented. I don't know squat about X and setting it up, so I use someone else to do that part. I am looking forward to seeing this part of the new book -- hey, I might even set up X on my own server. Having said that -- along with my tremendous distain for all things windoze, I could see some real value in a chapter about setting up the system, along with some of the other ports and such, so it mimicks much of the windoze environment for the user. So far, from my experience only, most people just want to *use* the system. The printing company I 'converted' from sco to fbsd didn't really care about most of the things which I care about, only that it worked and worked well. I installed the system, generated a bunch of scripts, and they are happy people. (of course, missing the yearly 'maintenenace fee' to sco also made them happy, but that's another story) Anyway, that's my $0.02... Lee
