It was clearly an "advertisement" by the dictionary definition. OTOH, it's not spam as I posted exactly one copy here (and nowhere else). It doesn't seem to me to be a violation of Debian policy, which I've just read for the first time; if it is a violation, I apologize. > I don't mean to imply that Martin had anything to with this, simply that > there are lists for announcement of commercial products related to > Debian. I was the only one involved. I don't know Mr Krafft and I'm not in any way involved with the book, its publisher(s), distributor(s), etc. I saw the announcement, as I indicated, on comp.os.linux.announce and copied it verbatim to this mailing list. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
