Reader ReviewsCorel Linux is tough to upgrade because it was based on the Debian "Slink" release and now most Debian packages have been recompiled for the "Potato" release. It's been a struggle to install any software on my system. I bought TheKompany's PowerPlant development tools and none of the debian packages would install! This book has been extremely helpful in solving some of my Linux woes although I would like it to be even more technical and cover the system hacks you need to correct major problems. I couldn't even get emacs installed until I bought this book!
