Wow! This is great feedback. Thanks so much for putting this together and for
your interest in Red Hat Linux. I will work on fixing these typos in the next
few weeks so that they will be incorporated into our next product release.

Best regards,
Sandra

manager?  :-)

Good luck,
Vladimir

These corrections have been made in the development version of the manual and
will be made available during the next release of the Red Hat Linux manuals.

Thanks again for the feedback!
Sandra
