I've purchased several books in the past on LINUX and up until now I'm very reluctant to continue on doing so only because you can get so much help on message boards and other places like linux.com or linux documentation site, tldp.org. I'll also do a lil research on the exact content of the book before I buy it as many are getting pretty $$$, and if it covers what I'm looking for more than likely I'll buy it. > As you progress in your knowledge and understanding, you will find, like > I did, that other books will help you to better understand certain > different parts of the Linux world and your impelemtation.

The more you read the different books the more you'll understand different parts of the LINUX world. I've already purcharsed in several books this year and have others stashed from previous years. Once you being to pick it up, you will begin to realize that the "UNLEASHED" and "BIBLE" cover only so much. You will eventually purchase more books in the near future to get more in depth knowledge of other things such as PHP, MYSQL, Apache, Postfix, Samba, etc, etc. > > HTH.
