Reader Reviews
Always looking for a something cool to tinker with, I found my perfect match in Linux Toys. My first project this past weekend was to jump to chapter ten and build the "Digital Receptionist." Using an unused PC (PII 300, 4GB, 128MB) and an old modem I was able to build the project, and I now get my phone messages from home answered by the machine and emailed to me at work - how cool is that? There are 12 more projects in the book, and I will probably do the digital video recorder next. I am not a complete Linux newbie - I have a RH 9 box on my home network, but I am no expert either. However, this is Chris Negus, the same guy that writes the Red Hat Linux Bible (great way to get the CD distro) so I found it very easy to read, and not at all intimidating. If you have an old PC in the closet, or just like to play with Linux, get this book - it's a blast.
