Crowdsourcing Debian Administration Handbook

The authors of a French-language administration handbook for Debian are crowdsourcing the funding required to translate it into English.

If they raise enough, they will "liberate" the book, publishing it under a free licence.

(Not just of use to Debian administrators, I'm sure there's plenty of material that would apply to wider linux administration or at least to Debian derivatives like Ubuntu etc..)

Update: Get the book now!
