  1. Re:Dude what are you saying? on What Kind of Books do You Want? · · Score: 1

    no no no .. the Geek classics, like cindy and claudia :) the canonical series we used to compile in the good old days .. (sigh)

  2. Re:Call me crazy, but.. on What Kind of Books do You Want? · · Score: 1

    I want it too, and post it next to my leather
    bound spell books

  3. books etc on What Kind of Books do You Want? · · Score: 1

    Some suggestions:

    1. History and evolution of the linux kernel
    This one has the advantage that you can continue
    to release updates frequently :-)

    2. A book explaining the differences between the
    various windows 2000 and windows XP (and all their various editions). :p Should be a small book :-)

    3. Windows 2000 networking for linux hackers.
    "How is masquerading called in w2k terms and where do you have to click to enable it ? "
    Or disable it for that matters when the installation chose to enable it for you.
    And please work out some decent examples and
    not your everyday loser book that gives the name
    of a textfield and then repeats the name without
    explaining what it really does and how it fits in
    the big scheme of things. If anyone really knows
    what that is ofcourse, when speaking of windows.

    4. Linux and PCs from scratch for seniors. I want to teach my parents how to use a PC and
    linux, but i dont know where to start.

  4. Re:Bad Idea on What if Red Hat bought SCO? · · Score: 1

    Unless they open up the copyrights owned
    by SCO ofcourse :) And publish their source.

  5. Don't compromise, boyocot propietary formats on Escient (CDDB company) trying to monopolize market? · · Score: 1

    They're stupid. We've got the power,
    the technology and the people to design,
    implement a new format and populate databases.
