[ILUG-BOM] [OT] - Linux Book for beginners

Hi, Don't know if this is old news... Just snagged a book off the shelves.. Linux Bible 2005 - Chris. Negus. (I got it for rs.440) I'm just about to finish the 2nd chapter. so far so good ... not ready to comment on the book yet. But the killer thing is that the book comes with a DVD + CD ( the list as far I could see) DVD - Knoppix (bootable), RedHat FC 2, Slackware, SUSE LiveCD CD - Damn Small Linux (bootable - a knoppix variant), Debian Sarge Knoppix rocks! Yesterday was the historic day that I heard an mp3 play from linux + the sweet thing was that I was running linux off a Disc. No partitioning, no installation woes. "It simply worked !!!" I'd recommend this for someone who is just trying out Linux for the first time and doesn't want to "Initialize" his HDD Thanks, Gishu Pillai
