Picked up "The SuSE LInux Server" book today and it well worth the 75 CDN that I had to shell out for it. Books are so darn expensive here and no real reason why. That aside, this is an excellent read, and my hat is off to the authors and SuSE. So the question to SuSE staffers is will there be more in this series (in english) as this one will soon be exhausted, and if so when. Whats nice about this material is that while its general and extends or builds on the SuSE manual the meat is clear and precise. No wasted time on this read. A more advanced text will hopefully follow soon. Best and continued success Chris

I don;t know if they ship to other countries, or what the shipping time is (nor relative cost) but http://www.bookpool.com has excellent prices on technical books.

Thanks for the reference, they do have good prices but here is the problem we are faced with in Canada. SuSE Linux Server = 28.50 US (discounted price) 39.99 regular Canadian dollare = 1.45 US So = 41.35 CDN Shipping 10US = 14.50 CDN (approx) Import duty 30% = 12.40 CDN (approx and varies on the day..:)) ____________________________ = 68.24 CDN My cost was (without exagerating) 74.90 so for a ten dollar savings I will need to waite approx 2-3 weeks for land shipment, If you go air well there are no savings. So much for free trade in the America's. Whats interesting is that if these books were imported into Canada directly from Germany we could get them at about half the published rate as we have far better trade relations with the EU then with the US. The tarrifs are far lower. Dont mean to get into US bashing, its just a reality up here that it ofter costs far more to get stuff from the States then from Europe but not is all cases. eg: I made arrangement with SuSE a long time ago to get some software for our LUG. Despite the fact that the invoice and shipping bills indicated a zero commerical value. I had to pay some $300 Duty for 5 versions of SuSE 7.0 Proffesional thanks to an overzealouse duty officer. I was in need as a presentation was planned so I just paid it. I can of couse get it back and I will but not this year...:) Possibly in 2002. Chris
