I have had one on order for two months.

The current word is that it has been delayed to add more information
from the book and to do a bit of work on it (ie: implied that there
are no problems, but "oh, yeah, we're going to fix some problems
too...").

I have a lot of respect for the Jolitzen for the code I have seen (after
all, they started this whole thing up, and even if they closed down
quickly, they provided impetus), and I have hopes for the CDROM; even
if it's nothing but 386BSD plus the patches they liked from the patchkit
and Jesus Monroy's floppy driver, it's worth it for the payback, IMO.
