Book review: O'Reilly's Pocket Guide to Linux by Henry Kingman (Mar. 23, 2004)
O'Reilly's "Pocket Guide" series of books are among the most-used books on my book shelf. These slim volumes are a refreshing departure from the "bigger is better" norm among computer book publishers, most of whom use large fonts, out-of-date excerpts from the Linux Documentation Project How-Tos, and of course a CD or two in the back to amass reference tomes more impressive in bulk than in content or organization. As an editor myself, I understand the value of organizing and condensing information. Mark Twain certainly said it well when he ended a long letter with an apology about not having had the time to write at shorter length. http://www.desktoplinux.com/articles/AT7471953382.html -- ( >- -< ) /~\ __ Scaling FSF/OS in the __ /~\ | \) / Enterprise : [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ (/ | |_|_ \ Call Now: 9820349221 / _|_| \____________________________________/ -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
