[KLUG Members] Re: Books to learn from

[Taz]

Hi All,

Just a question, or two, ;-), wife wanted to go to the mall this
afternoon, and I went into the B&N store. Always to the same section,
Linux. Got to looking at the titles and reading a bit about each of
them, and seeing that I have finally put BS-Ware 8.0 #3 onto a machine (
not this one, I explained to Ralph why) I came up with some interesting
reading selections.

"Official Red Hat Users Guide" Red Hat

"Learning vi Edit(or)" O'Reilly

"Effective awk Programming" O'Reilly

"Running Linux" O'Reilly

"Linux Server Hacks" O'Reilly

"Sendmail" O'Reilly

"Red Hat Linux 8" Sam's

"Red Hat Linux 8 Bible" Wiley, and finally

"Learning Bash Shell" O'Reilly

Which would help me the most? the least? most interesting? most able to
help others? most able to help other people to understand why linux is a
better os than that other propietary junk?

TIA

Bruce

P.S. I am _still _trying_ to get linux into the Comstock schools, but
not having a very good shot at it. Still bending ears on linux here and
there. The school IT was supposed to get back to me, but never did. The
school board member was very put off by the answers that I received from
the list. Any help is appreciated. But we have to keep it positive,
positive, positive. I still don't know if I have it through to him or
not that the programs that he wants to be able to run, will run with
VMWare, for $300, per the system, _not_ per computer. Sometimes I feel
like I'm fighting a losing battle. :-) Maybe until m$ comes in and tells
them, like they did to the schools is Washington and Oregon last spring,
then I can get somewhere. Be positive, Bruce, be positive. (That's to
me, not the other Bruce guy, (Smith)).
