Hi all, Thanks for the great suggestions for Linux literature . I printed the responses I received and put together an order for Amazon. Here is my order:
TCP/IP Illustrated, Vol 1, Stevens & Wright Understanding the Linux Kernel, Bovet & Cesati Linux Device Drivers, Rubini The Unix Programming Enviroment, Kernighan Beginning Linux Programming, Stone & Matthew The Mythical Man-Month, Brooks The C Programming Language Kernighan & Ritchie Programming Perl, Wall HTML: The Complete Reference, Powell. Again as part of the procedure I used the "Self" loop to cull titles that have "Idiots," "Dummies," or "Unleashed" as part of them. I read a chess list too and from time to time a person contributes their Desert Island Reading List, 10 chess books that a person would like to have when stranded on a desert island. When the urge hits a person on this list they could do the same for Debian. In case people think my employer is giving away free money ( not likely ), I state for the record that I acutally earned this money but the proceeds can only be spent for faculty enhancement and developement. I taught a so called Univ 100 course last fall in addition to usual courses that I teach. Univ 100 as you can probably guess is an orientation class for new freshmen. Again thanks for the help.
