OK, I've sorted out a copy and will forward it as soon as I get it. PCW include on their cover CD's the "Hands On" sections (which cover all the major OS's and several other topics) for the preceding 12 months in PDF format. If we get a good review I'll sort out permission to use the PDF file for publicity (on the Web site and/or in the newsletter). I'll also point Chris Bidmead (the guy who writes the column) to the Newsletters on www.freebsd.org. > > - Jordan Regards, Mark O.
