Ok, Compare and contrast time. I'm a bibliophile, so I've got more books
than I should. Let's try to help someone without my addiction (it's too
late for me:-) save some money by comparing three books I have:
Learning Debian/GNU Linux ISBN1565927052
Debian GNU/Linux for Dummies ISBN 0764507133
Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 Unleashed ISBN 0672317001
and let's throw in whatever else Amazon says they have about Debian..
Debian GNU/Linux: A Guide to Installation and Usage ISBN 0735709149
Installing Debian GNU/Linux ISBN 0672317451
and one book Not Yet Published (2/2001)
Debian Gnu/Linux Bible ISBN 0764547100
(most of these are thin when it comes to Amazon reviews)
Now, let those with expertise/knowledge/opinions (definitely not the same
thing...) share!!
