This one is part of my very small Linux library, so I wholeheartedly agree with your recommendation. > Linux in a Nutshell is as are all the O'Reilly "Nutshell" series books, > intended as a reference for someone already familiar with the basic > concepts This I don't own, but from your description it seems very similar to: 'Linux Pharsebook' by Scott Granneman published by Sams Publishing This is a book I find myself turning to pretty often when I can't quite remember how to do something. I recommend you get yourself to Borders, or any other decent bookshop, grab every Linux book you can find and peruse them over a mug of coffee. That's how I ended up buying the above two books. -- Mike _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
