yep - that's why i haven't done it yet. but everytime i look at the computer 
section i ask myself what somebody (who hasn't got a fat internet connection) 
would want to read if they wanted to know about linux. it would be lovely to 
have that kind of book there. but what is that book?

i'm hoping llugers will have some suggestions - anybody?

of course you're right about the book being out of date so quickly. we could 
get round that to an extent by ordering one book every year... 

in the meantime if anyone has any suggestions for good linux paper books, i'd 
be very happy to go and donate my 70p to lancs libraries.
