Hi,
do you plan to release this book under a free documentation license at any point?

I think Creative Commons by-sa-nc would be good enough.

Thanks,
Quique

I cannot promise anything, but I am trying to persuade my publisher to release the first edition under a free licence when the second edition is published (possibly with the release of etch). I will keep you posted, of course.

Feedback

Mark Gibbs, Network World (28 Nov 2005): This book is unusual in that it is much more than a technical discussion - it delves into the philosophy of the system, explains how someone becomes a recognized Debian developer and details the way that Debian is licensed. That's not to say the book doesn't get technical. It provides a very well-written, soup-to-nuts explanation of how Debian is organized; how to install, configure and modify the system; and how to administer and secure it. Excellent and highly recommended.
