You hit the nial right on the head , as a bebiner to somwhat intermediate ,
I have found most orielly books too advanced and skiimp on detials. But it
must hit the more advanced crowd on the mark , as you find them every where.
To bad there is not a third party book on suse. That would be trealy need.
My most thumbed throgh linux book is a hard cover version fo "doctor Linux"
that is a basic reprint of ALL the How Tos. all in one "telephone book"
Real neet as it usualy starts out at a readable leval , then gos on up from
there , and if you thumb around a bbit you will find what you want.
