Re: Comparison APC LinuxPocketGuide and PCWORLD'sLinuxPocketBook

Morning List,

So far I have received 5 - for APC , 2 for PCWORLD 
I leafed through PCworld one and it highlights particularly firewall setup
and 'GAMES'.
I picked up MadDogs RH6.1 for dummies over a year ago, it's ok as far as it
goes and it certainly got me going, it covers most things to the point of
getting them going , but falls short in some places, has anyone looked at it. 

I like to think I'm breaking out of my newbie skin and bordering on Linux
incompetant. So I was looking for something with a bit more info without
being overwhelmed any suggestions?

I wasn't sure if these books would be appropriate, so any suggestions are
appreciated

Regards

Evan
