Next time I will definitely do that. At the time of asking I was quite
involved with getting openAfs to work with Heimdal under Debian and
therefor a bit preoccupied. I figured the best opinions about this book 
would be those from TLUG members, so I asked the mailing list.

I had  no idea that it would start a discussion about 'asking on the 
TLUG mailing-list` itself. My apologies.


Greetings by the way.I do not believe I have properly introduced myself 
before. David Stibbe, nice to meet you all.
