This is somewhat offtopic but important when we get to work with deployments. (And working with deployment teams is how we get laptops in the hands of kids, so it is right there where it matters...)
Some local teams have very low exposure to Linux -- this is regional, and has a multitude of reasons (irrelevant to this point). And when I explain basic procedures around the XS, we have a huge learning curve. I can't write a Linux bible, and HowTos are very patchy (uneven coverage, versioning, quality, style...). And these new users need some assurance, something to hold on to. So I am looking book recommendations that covers a bit of linux management... - with focus on CLI tools - with focus on Fedora/RH toolchain - good old-style CLI tools debugging tips - generally matching the tools we have and use on the XS - popular enough that it has been translated to other languages, even if the translations are for old versions It doesn't have to be a perfect fit. I can direct people to the right chapters, skip distractions, point out obsolete bits, etc. But having a book really helps newcomers, and gives them something to refer back to when I am gone. This approach has worked wonders in the past with workshops I have run. Recommendations for books? Do tell me how they score in the items I've laid out above... :-) cheers, m -- [email protected] [email protected] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
