[NTLUG:Discuss] "RedHat Linux 8 DVD Edition"

[terry]

I saw  what looks to be a very good book, you should check it out.  I 
saw it at Barns & Nobel on S. Hulen St. in Ft Worth and it appears to be 
a very extensive Linux manual that covers system configurations and 
netwoking, all in one pretty good size book (a good 1&1/2" thick or 
more) and has a very good index.  
(I always figure if it's got a good index, it's got potential of being a 
good book.)

Not only that, it's got RedHat's latest release and not just the 
downloadalbe  3 CD version but 6 CD's worth, but just all on one DVD 
disk.  (It's in a clear plastic jacket in the inside cover)  That would 
be the same thing you get in RedHat's complete boxed set that comes with 
6 CDs some 1500 programs or so.

Well, the software is not a real big issue, at least not to me, I have 
the 3 CD downloadable version anyway and it's prolly all I need, (for my 
personal  use), but the book is really good.  I sat down with it for 
about a half hour and it looks to be quite extensive, well organized  
and well written.   I'd have bought it myself if I'd felt just a bit 
more extravagant but It was $49.95 and I've got three other Linux 
manuals already.   

Anyway, just FYI:
