Order it with something cheap like audio tapes for Sun Tzu's Art of War (like 2 bucks) so everything is about $9 including shipping. alpha 04-10-2002, 04:28 PM hmm, ive thought about getting on this deal, but wasn't sure how much the book will help... for nyone who considered themselves a linux n00b - and bought this book - any comments? thanks MadSkilage 04-10-2002, 05:08 PM I'm no linux guru and this book was an excellent purchase. It covers a lot of stuff from the history of linux to the installation and basic commands, etc. The thing I like about it is that you can just read the chapters you're interested in i.e. you can skip the stuff on Samba and go to the chapters on security info and still absorb alot. It's a good resource for people of all different levels. |
