You may go thru "Linux for Windows NT/2000 Administrators - The Secret Decoder Ring by Minasi / York / Hunt published by BPB. I have come across this book. Very exiting. Mostly Text Based and on MAN 7.1 distro. You please search for any new publication. Kindly note that the book also covers other distros. The title will hardly bother you about Windows. Happy Reading, computing and DIWALI. Sonjoy Ganguly. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
