Learning Debian

[Keith Watson]

Hi,

I am just now getting caught up with my email so have not been 
around. To answer the question about finding a book or something, 
if you are a member of bookshare they have all the orielly books 
on linux. I had heard that you did not need to be a member to get 
them but I don't know how as I have been a member for years. They 
have all the linux primmers, such as linux in a nutshell and a 
slew of others. I would start there and try not to get 
discouraged as this is one of the most controllable and accesable 
operating systems that I have ever dealt with.
