Great job on the page, Kendall.  I think it will be interesting to see
if the RedHat people that have been so active on the RH mailing lists
will continue this operation or if they will cash their stock quick and
sip suds on the Riviera.

It has been said that one of the most popular calculus texts written
after W.W.II was very slow in being updated because the publisher could
not get the authors off of the Riviera to update it!!
