Anyone know of any books that are reasonably compatible with the Mandrake
distribution? I'm looking for something with a lot of breath and/or depth.
I've been programming PCs for over 25 years so I'd like to avoid books that
are really basic but, would like ones that do cover common problems that
cause people to spin their wheels.
I ordered a  title (Linux-Mandrake 6.0 Unleashed  Sams; ISBN: 0672318113)
from Amazon that was supposed to be released in October. I called SAMS and
this title and another Mandrake title are now pushed out till at least March
2000. I've got the 6.1 Power pack and was able to install the basic OS and
KDE (I skipped the network for now) without instructions (left them at home)
or major problems. 
Also, if anyone knows the author, Horst Von Brand, I'm one of those anal
guys who likes reading a book from cover to cover with a highlighter to
glean everything I can. I would be willing to beta test the book against the
6.1 distribution for him.
Thanks,
