Gee,I really DIDN'T know you could do that in Linux!!!
The author has a refreshing sense of humor that makes you grin as you learn. ~~~~~
I picked this book up out of pure curiosity - a chimpanze on the cover of a Linux book? As I looked inside, I thought, "Gee, I really DIDN'T know you could do that in Linux!" My curiosity soon turned to amazement "Hey, you can't even do that in Windoze!" Next, I realized, "Hey, I have to DO this!" and bought the book. He provides dozens and dozens of hard-to-find applications and tells you exactly what to type to implement the program. The CD includes helpful utilities, entertaining games, and even a full office suite. (Try to get THAT in your Windows O. S. !) Most of the programs on the CD include complete source code as well as a binary executable file. Many of the tools can run right off the CD. This book is hard to beat if you want to get that "extra edge" in Linux. Your friends will be amazed and exclaim, "Gee, I didn't know you could do THAT with Linux!!!" Lloyd W. Cary

lots of software and documentation
The software the author talks about is on the cd rom with documentation! There are
a lot of nice extras on the cd-rom. I loved this book. Great sense of humor and kind of hard to put down. Twice already
I've used it as a reference. I will look to buy other books from this author. I can't believe he covers both
command line and gui apps that either do or almost do the same thing! Now I can get work done no matter
what with my small home network.
