CentOS Bible from Wiley

[CronoCloud]

Saw it at Barnes & Noble on Thursday, did a quick page through, and thought it would make a pretty good book for YDL too since the book is based on Centos 5. All the screenshots of the GUI tools look like the YDL tools. No mention of Enlightenment, since that's something Fixstars throws in there. Most, but not all, of the second half of the book is filled with information only relevant to those running servers, setting up MySQL, Apache, e-mail server and whatnot. It cost $55 so I didn't get it. Now If I could have bought just the first half (and a few pertinent parts from the second) for $25 that would have been better. They ought to split it in half, one half for Desktop users, the other for CentOS server admins. It's also available as an ebook, but that's only viewable with Adobe's Digital Editions software, which isn't available on ANY Linux not even x86 Linux.

Hey Ron, seems like a nice reference. Does a thread or Topic heading exist within the YDL Board where this and other references which could be useful in this community be listed within one place?? Something to consider??

All the best...

Amazingly enough, no. Actually thought about doing so in the past, never got around to it, though I have made book recommendations in the past.
