I got the same email, it was a request for feedback from www.manning.com
reguarding an unfinished book on the Ubunutu server,
www.manning.com/galvin (also available directly from their homepage). I
did not respond to it as I'm not qualified in any way shape or form to
do so. The individual who sent it indicated my name and email address
were gleaned from this list. I don't know why she didn't post directly
here as she would have received much better feedback from the group as a
whole.
