I already have the one entitled "Teach Yourself Linux in 24 Hours" from SAMS publishing. This is the one which comes with the Caldera Systems OpenLinux CD-ROM. This is the one that tells you how to install Linux from Windows 95. > If I can find half a dozen books > for Linux newbies in the public library of a small city > (30,000 people) in New Zealand, then surely you must be > able to get them. 30,000 people? Small city? That's a huge metropolis by Shenandoah Valley standards. The closest town to me is 12 miles away and it has a population of about 3,000. We have a very tiny public library which is supported by the county government. You are living in a highly developed modern community. Contrary to popular opinion abroad, there are vast regions in the US which have a very depressed economy, and also very high illiteracy rates, especially in the general region known as Appalachia where I live. In all of New Zealand industry and commerce is growing and booming according to the news I hear.
