It would help us newbies and give a boost to DSL if there were a Damn Small Linux for Dummies book.  Include the latest distro CD.

If anyone is a good writer, contact http://www.dummies.com to find out their process for proposals.

Agreed.  There is a book, complete with CD.  Follow the link to a thread that points to an external review and my review of the book.

Executive summary: Not a "Dummies" book by any means, but I thought it was worth my $$.  No connection to author, yada, yada.

I think it will be hard to find someone that wants to publish a printed book on a distribution that changes so rapidly, maybe an electronic book would work.

======== Note =========
The DSL Forum Search default is 'OR'
If you search for "cat dog" you will get all "cat" posts and all "dog" posts.
If you search for "cat AND dog" you will only find results that contain BOTH "cat" and "dog"
Add '*' for wildcards, " cat* and dog* "
