I don't seem to be getting Matt's posts so I'm replying to Scott.  I

You could always buy Linux Nihongo Kankyo.  :-)  I'm thinking about
revisiting that stuff, in English this time.  Sortof a secant to Ken
Lunde's progression.  :-)  I'll have to talk to Tim O'Reilly about the

not sure), and the other authors.

    Scott> I think Dr. Mike's page does that, doesn't it?
