@Front cover:

1.  Star top left: Replace "FREEBSD" with "FreeBSD".

2.  Add emblem "Second edition - over 1700 pages"

3.  Top left (instead of "The Berkeley Alternative to Linux")

    The free version of Berkeley UNIX

	 *       Rock Solid Stability
	 *       X-Windows
	 *       Cool Applications
	 *       A Total Development Environment
	 *	 Industrial strength Networking

    Four Books in One:

	 *       Running & Installing
	 *	 Using FreeBSD
	 *  	 FreeBSD and the Internet 
	 *       Essential Man Pages

    Easy Installation

4.  Remove "Java" from background top right (we don't do it too well).
    If it looks too empty, you could choose something like "WWW" or
    "Internet".

5.  The daemon is still reading "Installing and Running FreeBSD".  Do
    you want to change that?  I'm easy, but it's a thing to consider.

Spine:

1.  Replace box "The Berkeley Alternative to Linux" with "The free
    version of Berkeley UNIX"

Rear:

1.  Bar on left: add

    * The world's most stable Internet software

    (second to last, between "Rock-stable performance" and "Complete
    development environment")

2.  Is the ISBN correct?  If not, please let me know, since I need to
    change it in the text.

3.  Text on right.  The layout's fine, and the quote "If you want..."
    is also good the way it is.  There are a lot of changes in the
    text block--it's probably better just to incorporate this:

FreeBSD is a high-performance, professional quality UNIX operating
system based on 4.4BSD, the version of UNIX developed by the
University of California at Berkeley and its contributors.  It is a
direct descendent of the legendary 4.2BSD which provided the basis for
the development of the Internet.

FreeBSD is the operating system of choice for Internet service
providers and other businesses which rely on serious networking
performance and reliability.

"FreeBSD is based on the same BSD code base that influenced many
commercial versions of UNIX." -Byte Magazine

Walnut Creek CDROM relies exclusively on FreeBSD for our ftp and www
machine at ftp.cdrom.com--with 1 GB RAM, 150 GB disk and 2750 users
the world's largest.  Yahoo! uses it for one of the world's largest
web sites.

You get *complete* network software, including:

[Note: *complete* indicates the word "complete" in italics]

* The original, highly acclaimed, industrial strength Berkeley TCP/IP
  networking, the basis of the Internet, including PPP and SLIP
  support.

* *All* the network software, not just a selection.

* Complete E-mail and Internet News software (mutt, elm, pine, mh,
  pop, trn, nntp and more).

* Industry standard NFS, World-Wide-Web, Email and Internet News
  servers.

* Network servers for Microsoft network environments.

* Hylafax fax software.

FreeBSD comes with the industry standard X Window system (X11R6) for
the PC, XFree86.  You also get a rich set of ready-to-run X utilities
such as fvwm window manager, xjpeg, tcl and tk.  

The system comes with complete source code.  FreeBSD provides a
tightly integrated build system that lets you recompile the entire
operating system and support software from source with just one
command.

FreeBSD comes with complete development environment with GNU C and C++
compilers and gdb debugger.  It also comes with packages such as perl,
tcl, scheme, forth and GNU Emacs.  For printing you get groff, TeX,
ghostscript and AFM fonts.  The provided bash, csh, zsh and tcsh
shells give you a rich choice of environments.  FreeBSD supports ISO
9660 and RockRidge format CDs.

This book offers a complete reference to FreeBSD, from installing the
system to running network servers.  On the way, you'll read 
detailed descriptions of the installation process, including how to
share disks between FreeBSD and other operating systems.  You'll also
learn to install and configure your X Window System, get to know
FreeBSD, and reconfigure your FreeBSD kernel.  You'll find out how to
set up the networking software, including servers.

Requirements: Standard ISA, EISA, VL, or PCI bus based PC (386sx to
Pentium Pro/Pentium II), minimum 8 MB RAM.  60 MB disk space for a
binary-only system and 340 MB for development system.

"If you want stable networking or a powerful development environment,
FreeBSD is the operating system for you!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Grog:

   FreeBSD is a high-performance, professional quality operating
   system for Intel-compatible PCs with 386 or better CPUs.  It is
   based on "Berkeley UNIX",** the version of UNIX developed at the
   University of California at Berkeley between 1975 and 1993, and
   derived from the final version, 4.4BSD Lite, which contains no
   proprietary code.

   FreeBSD is a general purpose operating system, but it is especially
   suited to networking applications.  The Internet grew up around
   Berkeley UNIX, and FreeBSD supplies the same mature,
   high-performance networking code which is the primary choice of
   Internet Service Providers and other businesses which rely on
   serious networking performance and reliability.  Walnut Creek
   CDROM, for example, relies exclusively on FreeBSD for its own ftp
   and www server at ftp.cdrom.com, one of the world's busiest
   servers.

   FreeBSD 2.1 also supplies a full complement of software development
   tools, as well as XFree86 version 3.1.2--the Intel based
   implementation of the X Window system--and over 300 additional
   software packages.

   FreeBSD 2.1 compares favourably in performance, stability--and,
   of course, price--with commercial operating systems such as UNIX
   System V.4 and SCO UNIX.  Unlike the commercial offerings, it is a truly
   open system and comes with complete source code.  This enables users to
   deal with problems themselves, if necessary, rather than being forced to
   rely on often slow and expensive vendor teams to fix them.  

   A large, informal support network on the Internet, including FreeBSD's
   own development team, also provides a significant degree of technical
   support and is generally highly motivated to deal with any problems
   which its users may encounter, including many bugs which the commercial
   vendors often consider too expensive or too trivial to fix.

   Because FreeBSD is non-proprietary, it's possible to quickly share
   any such fixes and enhancements with all users.  FreeBSD's
   centralized development model and network synchronization tools
   ensure that users can easily stay up to date without having to hunt
   all over the Internet for patches from a variety of sources.

   This book helps you take your first steps with FreeBSD, from
   installing the system to getting to know the environment.  It
   includes detailled descriptions of the installation process,
   including sharing disks between FreeBSD and other operating
   systems.  It also covers installation and configuration of the X
   Window System, getting to know UNIX, and reconfiguring the FreeBSD
   kernel.

Sorry, I sent off my last message in a bit of a hurry.  Can you send
me the cover in PostScript?  That would probably be the easiest for
scaling.

Again, not this one, please.

It's probably worth waiting a little before making these changes.
They go hand-in-hand with the changes I'll make to the back cover, so
they could change.

I'm working on the back cover, and will get something to you by
tomorrow morning your time.

Thanks for your prompt responses.
