We're listening. Its always difficult to know what folks are interested in. We get as many requests for some obscure program included only deep in the Sunsite archive as we do for the inclusion of FreeBSD & NetBSD on a disc set with Linux. What would folks think of a combo deal that included our Linux set, BSD set (NetBSD and FreeBSD) and possibly the updated Standards disc with RFC's and other networking docs, now in PDF format ? We obviously have other customers with no interest in the OS discs, they just want the Standards, and others who prefer either the BSD systems or Linux, so we have no plans to put all of this on one set. -- Joel Goldberger Phone: 520-526-9565 InfoMagic, Inc.
