Subject: Good resource books?
It's probably published by Coriolis, which is now out of business (or
transformed into Paraglyph Press??). That's why it's on the sales table.
I'm sure it has some good information in it, but I haven't read it.

For a general end-user introduction, I would suggest The Red Hat (pick
your version) Bible (from John Wiley), and for reference, Running Linux,
Linux in a Nutshell (both from O'Reilly), and Linux Command Reference
(from Sybex). There is some overlap between Linux and a Nutshell and
Linux Command Reference, but Nutshell is better for explanations and
Command Reference is better for examples of common commands and
switches.

By the way, I have an extra Linux Cookbook (a VERY Debian-centric book,
but with information that you can use with any distro), and I'll bring
it to the westside meeting tomorrow so someone can draw for it. I also
have an extra Running Linux if no one minds a few notes in the margins.
