You have expedition fever with me several posts now. Let it go away and then we'll talk. I am not kidding, and you know that. In the public library in my city there are several hundred books on computers and some are read to shreds. By kids, and by students, and by gentlemen with gray hair and glasses. Most of those books deal with proprietary software but there are many, many books on Linux, LAMP, Android (if you consider that a good/free thing), UNIX C, everything you can think of. In the scientific library on my CS school you can imagine the situation. The people who go there are not kids but some are 18, 19. It is very common that though they did computers all their lives, they were very sparsely exposed to free computing, be it BSD, Linux, GNU, Usenet, you name it. If we can get our books - in new, mint condition, brand new editions - onto those shelves virtually cost-free that would be *great*. Do you not agree? -- underground experts united
