Looking for Linux Secrets...

Post by Michael A. Rober » Fri, 28 Feb 1997 04:00:00



I have taken a look at Naba Barkakati's "Linux Secrets", and think that
it is an invaluable resource for people who want to learn all about the
Linux OS.

But I figure that there may be someone out there in 'net land who may
have a copy and would be willing to sell or trade for something.

If you are such a person, please email me privately with your offer and
terms. I have the Yggdrasil December 1996 CD-ROM set, as well as a copy
of RedHat Unleashed, both a mint condition, in case you want to trade
instead of sell.

I look forward to hearing from you, and thanks for your time and
consideration...

No need.  Barnes&Noble is currently selling it off-the-shelf.
I'm sorry that I can't recall their mailing address (in case
you can't get to one of their stores in person).  Maybe someone
else can follow up with that info (or I'll bet that if you try
several permutations of http://www.barnesandnoble.com, you'll
stumble on the right one pretty quick).  By the way, I agree that
Barkakati's book is probably the best of the thousand-page-plus
books around (Linux Unleashed coming in a poor second).

Just noticed that a new linux book is online (full version) at:

http://www.mcp.com/sams/books/30962-9/httoc.htm

The name is RedHat Unleashed, the only problem is the examples I've seen
so far refer to Slackware (ie, Darkstar prompt), in fact I haven't seen
any RedHat specific info yet! (well, I've only scanned the first couple
of chapters so I could be wrong).

Well, anyway, it does look like a source of good, free linux info!
