Great stuff .. for what its worth, investing in a couple of good books is well worth the trouble ...

I use the O'Reilly apache and DNS books very heavily (will get around to buying the sendmail one too eventually ...)

Did you know that for a monthly subscription you can read up to 5 ORA books online (and change which 5 every month ...)? Could be a useful reference for all you IT technicians out there ...

(BTW - I don't work for ORA or anything, I just like their books ... they also send me books to review for the LUG library from time to time too ...)

Their current Linux Kernel book only seems to cover kernel 2.2, so you may wish to wait for an update version that covers 2.4 in greater detail -- that is what I intend to do.

if you are a bit bored and you want something to read then have a look at... http://www.sheflug.co.uk/oreilly.html also http://www.sheflug.co.uk/books.htm might give you a few ideas :)) Thanks Richard http://www.sheflug.co.uk Rebel Code on the front page
