The books that have been sent have all been added to the pdxlug library. I think that the last books were sent much over a year ago. Since no one seems to utilize the pdxlug library, the demand to ask for any new titles has been unnecessary. If there are books that you would like them to send us (if possible), please send me a list and I will arrange for that. I would like to see the library used again, but I haven't seen any interest in it, so that is why I haven't been poking at O'Reilly to send us new stuff. http://library.pdxlug.org/ Wait, the last books that they sent were the Linux kernel ones, and I gave those away with Make magazines that they sent when Greg K came and spoke. :-) -Robby -- /****************************************************** * Robby Russell, Owner.Developer.Geek * PLANET ARGON, Open Source Solutions & Web Hosting * Portland, Oregon | p: 503.351.4730 | f: 815.642.4068 * www.planetargon.com | www.robbyonrails.com *******************************************************/ _______________________________________________ PDXLUG (a Portland Linux user group) mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlug.org/mailman/listinfo/pdxlug IRC: irc.freenode.net #pdxlug & #orlug
