The review is spot on about the typesetting in the book; it is terrible and is a deterrent to enjoyment and utilization of the contents. I've never had this reaction to a book before; I'm not really a font-obsessive kind of guy. They would have been better off just sending the humongous PyMOTW PDF to the printer.
My favorite Python reference is Python Essential Reference (4th ed) by Beazley; it pretty much lives up to its title. Among other things it is good at identifying points where Python2 and Python3 diverge.
Mandrake and Suse would be better for ANY desktop user, and certainly better for the IOSN to promote since both distributions have long-term commitments to the desktop.
Some things are still fuzzy. I've been writing everything down. Here are my notes.
AA011 BOS-LAX 07:59-
first to hit WTC
AA077 IAD-LAX 08:21-
most are saying this hit the Pentagon (some thought WTC earlier)
but flight tracker http://www.fboweb.com/ has it mapped into Kansas(!)

I'd like to see a thorough comparison between the LixSystems' $560 system
/ cPath/24_27/products_id/237
h p?cPath=9&products_id=81.

and Interact-TV's $600 system

And any others that might be out there.
This will nicely wrap up our hearts-and-minds campaign.

Let's let the free market determine if there are too many distributions. If we only need a few, Mandrake would be one of them anyway.
On the other hand, the UN should step in and limit the number of options when buying toothpaste. That decision has become mindboggling.
