Jane of Edubuntu...

[flint at flint.com]

Dear John,

Good point. The critical element is that the Ubuntu work become part of
the circulation, get a catalog number and join the other important
literary works.  Giving out CD's is one thing.  Getting institutionalized,
for good or for ill, is another.  

Anyway it is not yet a done deal, so keep your fingers crossed.  Once the
Mt. Ranier public library catalogs and shelves the Ubuntu work, my next
stop is the U.S. Library of Congress...

Wish us luck!

Kindest Regards,

Paul Flint
