I know about the LDP consultants guide, sorry I got my names reversed. 
I was referring to the www.fsc.cc site. What the story with that? The 
domain is registered to somebody in San Jose, CA, so I guess it's not 
the omaha group of people I was thinking of.

The linux consultants guide goes a bit further back than 2000, I just 
flipped open my copy of "Linux Undercover" which was a hard copy of 
many of the LDP docs at the time, it doesn't have a copy of the guide, 
but it references it. The book was printed in 98. It would be nice if 
somebody printed another version of it, it weighs in at about 3 inches 
thick and 2000 pages of 'bible' paper. It was a great reference at the 
time.

As far as a 'howto be a consultant' this is the best thing I've seen:

Everything else goes with knowing what you're good at and staying that 
way.
