Reader Reviews
I looked at this in a store, and it seemed superb, for the price. Covers what a competent/ computer-literate person needs to get a LOT out of Linux. I esp. liked that it includes RH 6.1 cd. But I haven't seen it for sale anywhere else, and it looks like it's not immed. avail. here ;-(
