Here was the response from NewsForge.com: "I'm afraid I can't give you permission to copy it because we don't own the copyright. It's a book extract. You might be able to get permission from the publisher, as we did. You should be safe linking to it, however, since our URLs don't really change, even after a redesign, one of which is coming up this week." > Nor was it ever my intent to republish the article on a PDF. > Personally I find PDF files to be an enormous pain in the butt and > really have never seen the point in them. I actually do use them here a lot for the reason mentioned: links break. I also dislike saving html files in a format such that they are a directory with multiple files. It's just too messy... > Also, PDF is > proprietory and I'm not comfortable using a proprietory format on > Twiki. Would that be a problem? People have pdf's on sites all the time. It may be proprietary, but not so much so that it can't be shipped with mandrake. Just curious. For now, i just linked to it. eric -- Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
