    Well, I don't think a lack of color in the manual will be a problem.
    It's not like it's got a lot of big, color images or anything.

    The problem with sending out more than one distro is that 1) We've now
    tried selling Lindows, SuSE, Knoppix and Debian and Debian's the only
    one that sells, and 2) company policy dictates that we support what we
    sell. Lindows doesn't sell, SuSE and Knoppix don't sell and we don't
    want to support them, and ubuntu would be yet another distro to learn.

    Good idea. We already sell bash, emacs, vi and a couple other unix
    cheat sheets; I could probably throw at least the Bash one in and
    create a list of Debian-specific commands.
