@Prakash, They (Shroff Publishers) are very good. In fact I'm a regular buyer of JAVA
books from them!! You can't blame them for the price. The paper costs are rising every year!!

@nitish:
this book is for ppl who wants some advanced knowledge in Debian System as a whole.so for a n00b tis not recomnd.
the book is The Debian System-Concepts and Techniques
by Martin F. Krafft

Quote:

Despite its reputation as an operating system exclusively for professionals and hardcore computer hobbyists, Debian's open development cycle and strict quality control have helped it to gain popularity. With an installed base that’s growing annually by an estimated 25 percent, Debian clearly has its fair share of fans (not to mention the newsmaking Debian-based Linux distributions such as Knoppix, Ubuntu, and Xandros).

Unlike other popular Linux distributions, the Debian GNU/Linux operating system favors text-based configuration over graphical user interfaces (GUIs). In The Debian System, author Martin Krafft, an experienced Debian developer, introduces the concept of the Debian operating system, and explains how to use its various tools and techniques as well as the pitfalls and the thinking behind each. Debian may appear simplistic, but it is actually quite robust, scalable, and secure. After reading The Debian System, you’ll see that strict adherence to standards, highly experienced developers, a clear vision and goals, and a certain degree of academic perfection make Debian the exceptional system that it is today.

@Prakash, If they have the book with them right now. You'll get it within a week.
Sometimes it takes 2 weeks or 1 month. It really depends on the availability & stocks.

@Nitish, You better start with a good book in Fedora Core 5 Linux.

mehulved · 22-11-2006, 05:16 PM

This is the ubuntu book I was talking about http://www.phptr.com/bookstore/produ...132435942&rl=1.
@prakash I got the book for Rs. 550 after discounts from a nearby book store.

mehulved · 28-11-2006, 09:01 PM

@prakash Yeah that's the one that is available. Me and anurag got that one too.
Nitish you will have to search the bookstores there or order online.

JGuru · 28-11-2006, 09:16 PM

There you go, a Happy @Prakash with the book "The Debian System-concepts & Techniques".

@Nitish, you can order the "Ubuntu Book" from Shroff Publishers. Just send a email
to them. They will send you the book by VPP.

nitish_mythology · 29-11-2006, 11:49 AM

Thnks........
Lets see if I can order it!

Satissh S · 29-11-2006, 04:00 PM

@prakash,anurag,mehul,jguru: Enjoy the book, send me a copy if youve finished it.

@nitish: Books are simply not enough, you learn a lot in breaking stuffs and putting it back. My suggestion is to give a gentoo/lfs install a try when u have free time. You may fail first time, second.. third, but the understanding of UNIX and linux it gives you in unmatchable, one that none of those books or other distros will give you.

Be prepared to read a lot, Gentoo Handbook , The Linux From Scratch book should be your references should you get stuck at some point. If you are still afraid/unwilling to try what i said above, install slackware and read the slackbook, It will stand you in good stead. Start loving the command line if you want to do well with GNU.

No Pain , No Gain.

Yeah I don't know why is it such but that's the same book Anurag got too, AFAIK. I don't know why is the Open Source Press edition only available. In fact from where I bought they told me that the other one hasn't even come in India.
Strange!
