I note that it's only available on our site in PDF format.  This
restricts access to it and prevents people from viewing it online.
It should be in HTML and split into chapters for online viewing.
Another problem is that the size is 5.5 MB and thus difficult to
download for people with slow modems.  This is especially true in 3rd
world countries where internet access is extremely costly (considering
low incomes).  Also many may not have PDF readers.

When will it have editions for the other 100 distributions besides
RedHat (-:
