I can't comment on the Unleashed book - don't know anything about it,
but two of the three the 'Bible' book worked with me at SUSE UK, and I
can confirm that they really know their stuff.

I have a copy of the SUSE 9 version, it's accessible for those with
little technical knowledge, but also goes into depth for those who know
their way around a Linux box, but want to try something new.  Heartily
recommended.

Apparently "SuSE Linux 10.0 Unleashed" is not for beginners. So I might get it.

I don't know them, but they are the same ones that wrote the SUSE 9 bible. Lots of good information in that one, and I'm seriously considering the 10 version. I'll have to migrate my 9.1 server soon, so it will be a good investment.

Yes, they wrote the lion's share of both versions of the book. -- James Ogley james@usr-local-bin.org Packages for SUSE: http://usr-local-bin.org/rpms Make Poverty History: http://makepovertyhistory.org

Or the one in between the Pro and the OSS one. Yes, there is a version, I know because I own a copy of that. It was specially mastered for Linux-Magazine. Perhaps some of you remember the thread about it? Personally, my money is on it being the OSS version. -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Xmas may be over but, PLEASE DON'T drink and drive you'll make it to the next one that way.

I saw this book at the bookstore yesterday, and I *think* it was the OSS version. The book looked like it was well written, but I only glanced through it.

How much? Sometimes a local store beats the net and new books do not always show on Pricegrabber.com -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/

$26 at Borders.com

Annoyingly, this will then be listed as £26UK in our bookstores. Yet $26US is actually the equivalent of approx' £14UK or £15UK.

Or perhaps £30 or £35. I often see books for sale here for which British suppliers charge 50 per cent and more in sterling than US consumers are paying in dollars. But of course it's worth it for our *fantastic* all-year-round beach-wear climate - that's why we're all that lovely bronze colour.

:-)))) believe me, you would soon get bored of wall to wall unrelenting sunshine and heat. I was glad to come back to England and our supposedly awful weather after I had lived in Australia for a while. You're right about the book prices though :-( -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Xmas may be over but, PLEASE DON'T drink and drive you'll make it to the next one that way.
