OK, so hopefully Woody is gonna be released in the middle march...
Right when I was expecting it (4 months ago).
That's not TOO much time left, but we're finishing our work too.

No, Yes - I mean things like this:
http://www.infodrom.org/~joey/Writing/CHIP/apt/
but printed ;-). The special Woody edition of Linux+
( http://www.linux.com.pl/ ) contains installation description,
configuration instructions, desktops and their applications
discuss, advocacy, package managment, first-package-quick-guide,
and many, many more...
It will of course come with full binary cd set.
Thank You Anthony for Your answer.
