I got awesome goodies for you.&lt;p&gt;I ended up completely redoing the LxTHW base structure and converted all my books to it, but I haven&apos;t got around to updating the repo with the new gear.  If you email me I&apos;ll hook you up with the latest.&lt;p&gt;The new gear uses dexy (&lt;a href=&quot;http://dexy.it&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://dexy.it&lt;/a&gt;) still, but uses all the features of the newer dexy and switches to rST intead of latex.  I also have a converter that converts from the old latex structure pretty well.  The results are much easier to host and convert to pdf, mobi, epub, html, etc. and easier to write.&lt;p&gt;So, contact me (or anyone looking to do one of these).</text></comment>

It&apos;s a great project. Not a fan of the name.&lt;p&gt;Zed Shaw has a well-established series of &quot;Learn $topic the Hard Way&quot; online books, with Addison Wesley publishing a 3rd edition of his &quot;Learn Python the Hard Way&quot; this spring. He is building a brand and a business around this name.&lt;p&gt;I&apos;d be surprised to learn that &quot;Learn ... the Hard Way&quot; isn&apos;t trademarked, but even if it isn&apos;t, it strikes me as disingenuous, misleading, and potentially confusing to name your work after his.&lt;p&gt;As far as I can tell, Mr Shaw has nothing to do with this project, but then the &quot;Learn Linux the Hard Way&quot; name might, to some, imply that he does.&lt;p&gt;Edited to add: I do not have a dog in this fight, just pointing out a potential conflict.</text></comment>
