<!-- begin greeting -->
<p>There's new excitement at the Answer Guy household this month - my book is
shipping! I know this because I pre-ordered it from Amazon, and my order
has arrived. So, now I can tell you it has a purple binding, and that
the cover is white, with a black and white river scene along the top.</p>
<p><em>[ In the plugs department, if you're going to buy it from Amazon, buy
it through the associate link at our science fiction club, the
<a href="http://www.lasfs.org/">Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society</a>.
You'll get a discount, and help a literary organization at the same
time. -- Heather ]</em></p>
<p>My lovely wife Heather notes that it should also be at Computer Literacy,
if there's one in your area, or you prefer to online shop there.</p>
<p><em>[ <a href="http://www.svlug.org/">SVLUG</a>'s installfests are held
there, and I asked the staff if it was in yet. They said it was at
the warehouse but hadn't hit the stores. That was a week ago, so
they should be in by now. -- Heather ] </em></p>
<p>Onward to Linux itself. The 2.2.13pre kernel is (fingers indicating tiny
space) <em>this close</em> to being ready. 2.2.10 through 12 have some
memory leaks, so a lot of people are safer staying with whatever their
distribution shipped until it's settled in. Alan Cox is putting a lot of
effort into this one really being solid.</p>
<p>You won't find it mentioned at <a href="http://kernelnotes.org/"
>KernelNotes.org</a> - they have good stuff, but
they don't bother to mention the pre-kernels. If you're a brave soul and
really want to see the latest kernel details, you have to go to kernel.org.
I found the .13pre code at
<a href="http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/alan/2.2.13pre/"
>http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/alan/2.2.13pre/</a>
though as I've said many times before, I'm no programmer. I just read
README's and comments. (BTW, you can pick a closer mirror if you're in
another country, by replacing "us" with your two letter country code.
Round robin DNS does the rest.)</p>
<p>LinuxCare is sending me on another training visit to another state.
(Although I enjoyed myself in Japan, I'm glad this one is a shorter trip.)
Someone must be looking out for me - the very topic I needed to investigate,
embedded systems, seems to be the big topic for
<a href="http://www.linuxjournal.com/">Linux Journal</a> this month.</p>
<p>I'm sure you didn't come here to read all about that. You came for the
articles. There's a new footer this month to make it easy to get to the
<a href="../tag/kb.html">past articles</a>, too. With the short
deadline this month, there will be more than usual next time, I think.</p>
