I forgot where I found it, most likely here, so if this is a repeat post, I apologize...

Running Linux $6.98

I got it at bn.com (ordered another cheap book as they offer free shipping with order of two or more books).
Even if it isn't your first choice of a linux book, hard to beat $7 (listed at $35).

Yep. Got that one and another as long as I was there.
I think it was tech that talked about it before.
But, I ended up with two great books for less than $13.00 (including shipping). So, I be :)

yeah, I ened up getting J. D. Saliger's The Catcher in the Rye as I read that a lonnnnnnnng time ago and really liked it at the time (was probably 7th grade-ish). Not sure if I'll still find it as wonderful, but I figured I get it and see.

Well, it has only been a day and so far it is doing a good job of keeping papers from moving off my desk, however they do have a few links to the TOC and the index (and a small except) under the book info at the top.

You'd enjoy my local library. You can order books online to be mailed to your house. So, it's just like Amazon, but it doesn't cost anything.
