PLUGers! NBS will be coming out next year with an Open Source Shelf, which will feature, books, and media (read: Distro CDs), of popular open source topics. I'm now encouraging everyone to suggest their favorite book title, so that the selections on the shelf may be * timely and relevant *. As for the distros to be sold, we're planning to provide the top three freely downloadable distros: Fedora, Mandrake, and Debian. And a special double CD for those wanting to try open source: Knoppix and the OpenCD.
There will be three tracks: Developer, Administration, and Desktop. I'm going to start this off. Those of you who would like to suggest, make sure you post a URL as well (to amazon, o'reilly, or any online store which carries it) so that they can source the book details easier. Here's an initial list: Desktop: OOoSwitch: 501 Things You Want to Know About Switching OpenOffice.org from Microsoft Office http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1930919360/qid=1103778970/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i2_xgl14/103-0445682-5151048?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 OpenOffice.org Writer http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/openoffice/ Programming: Perl CD Bookshelf http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/perlcdbs4/ Administration Linux Cookbook http://safari.oreilly.com/JVXSL.asp?x=1&mode=section&sortKey=rank&sortOrder=desc&view=book&xmlid=0596006403&g=&srchText=&code=&h=&m=&l=1&catid=&s=1&b=1&f=1&t=1&c=1&u=1&r=&o=1&n=1&d=1&p=1&a=0 Building Secure Servers with Linux http://safari.oreilly.com/JVXSL.asp?x=1&mode=toc&sortKey=rank&sortOrder=desc&view=book&xmlid=0-596-00217-3&g=&srchText=&code=&h=&m=&l=1&catid=&s=1&b=1&f=1&t=1&c=1&u=1&r=&o=1&n=1&d=1&p=1&a=0 High Performance MySQL http://safari.oreilly.com/JVXSL.asp?x=1&mode=section&sortKey=rank&sortOrder=desc&view=book&xmlid=0-596-00306-4&g=&catid=itbooks.opsys.unix&s=1&b=1&f=1&t=1&c=1&u=1&r=&o=1&n=1&d=1&p=1&a=0&page=5 -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
