I quite agree – more books on Linux must be written from the point of view of a knowledgeable windows user.
It is deeply frustrating to read Howtos which assume you know Linux perfectly in the first place e.g the Software Raid Howto. Is there anywhere in the article that gives you all the commands at the end to check that your raid partion is the correct size etc? No – it is assumed that you already know that!

I also like the xntp Howto that does not tell you how to or to auto start the demon on boot!

Curse these tired eyes of mine, I didn’t even notice the dates. Oh well shame about the book but it must be a lot of work. I’ll just compile my own reference from posts here i suppose 😉

(and hopefully add some of my own eventually)

Good luck with the new house

Thanks for writing. Of course this post is ancient, ancient, ancient history. The Linux book was cancelled in the summer of 2000. Everything I’ve ever learned about Linux is posted here somewhere, as is everything I’ve learned about XP (and most of what I’ve learned about 2000).

I’m sure I’ll write another book someday, but if I’m going to write and get paid nothing or next to nothing for it, I prefer to do it on my own terms. Hence this site.

Well first off (and a little belated I know) thanks so much for your book, it’s been my Win 9x bible for a couple of years now. Your book, coupled with 98Lite is an unbeatable combination. I look forward to reading your Linux book, also are there any plans for an XP optimizing book at any stage??

Kia Kaha

Phil
