Book List

Somehow, two postings of mine from last week popped into last night's
digest. I don't know what caused this second appearance. Thanks for
responding, Derek!

I *was* listening the first time: I got 5-6 responses last week, and
now have a nice book list. Any newbies out there that missed the
various book recommendations, contact me at azipa@brxb.com for a recap.

The answer requires some facts. Has PLUG ever done a survey -- a census
-- of its members? I wonder how many would classify as newbie like me?
I wonder how many are pursuing Linux as a workstation vs. Linux as a
server? (and so forth) Then we might have an idea of where the needs
are. (How many are in-Valley vs. elsewhere?) If this is already known,
please share the demographics.

Is there a newbie SIG waiting to emerge?

I think the results of the survey might be of interest to local college
faculty as well. Thurman out here at SCC (for example) is always
looking for ways to meet emerging needs.

As for me: yes, I would pay! -- Craig
