Fedora is a development community working of producing an Open Linux Distribution called fedora. This group does not produce the CD's you buy when you buy a book. Those CD;s are produced by the book's publisher and that publisher makes the decision on whether to include the source code CD's with their book. PS. Please don't post email in HTML. It's the mark of a rank newbie (and therefore forgivable in newcomers). It causes many problems for the list (especially the digest), and many of the most knowledgeable members of the list don't read HTML postings. (They are filtered out for security reasons). Since those are the people whom you most want to have read your emails its in your best interests to post them in a format that will get read by all. -- Jargon file, abrgd.: The September that never ended. On the Internet, every September's freshmen influx got their first accounts and, not knowing how to post/email, always made a nuisance of themselves. Usually they were trained in a few months. But in September 1993, AOL users became able to post, overwhelming the capacity to acculturate them; to those who recall the period before, this triggered a decline in the quality of online communications. Syn. eternal September. http://kinz.org http://www.fedoranews.org Jeff Kinz, Emergent Research, Hudson, MA.
