Mine was mailed on the 6th, arrived on the 9th, at which time the
packaging was eagerly shredded revealing a nice, prefessional looking
CD. Rushing home, my previously upgraded Linux Box happily absorbed
the CD, software installed, and it all worked without a hitch --
though I haven't fired up emacs yet...

They recommend that you use the RedHat 4.0 release, and by total
coincedence I had just installed said installation a week or two ago
after I got the new Linux CD set for Christmas.

Now, if they'll just get back to me on the price of the hardcopy docs,
I'd just be all gigglely.

It's pretty nice.
