Reader Reviews
Corel 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!
