I've tended to stay with O'reilly Associates or the Waite Groupe Press IDG books are actually quite fun to read too :) I like the comics. C for Dummies was one of my first C programming books.

Yes it would be against the copyright laws to copy to your personal FTP site. Please read the license, they are copyrighted by McMillain Digital Publishing, NOT GPL. So be sure that your lawyers are much better than theirs! If you had bought the Mandrake 6.5 (sic) in the retail channel in the USA the CD is in separate envelope with a lot of fine print on it about not giving it away.
