I did not find an obvious date for that document, but in its
collection of Linux distributions it lists Caldera and Corel, but not
Fedora or Ubuntu. I suspect it's a bit out of date. Tke latest version
at the Linux Documentation Project (http://www.tldp.org/guides.html)
is dated March 2000.

Stuart, is that "read[ing] far enough"?
