New book featuring Knoppix published

Kiss the blue screen of death goodbye.

Yeah. And get ready to kiss kernel panic.

"kernel panic" Google hits 187,000
"blue screen of death" Google hits 131,000

And, uh, "kernal panic" Google hits 26,400

Except for the price of admission, Linux is as much of a circus as any other OS.

Flame baiting, aren't we here?
The numer of occurences retreived with goole and the real scale of trouble are two stories! I' m working now 10 (yeah - ten) years with linux and didn't see kernel panics - except two: One after I formatted my harddrive leaving lilo in nirvana and one after messing up network drivers...
My advice: either get familiar with a real OS and are being helped here or go away worshippig Windows and leave us alone, ok?


So long

What luck! I'm reading this right now, and have recommended it the the LUG of Singapore. I wonder who is taking my suggestion and recommending it to newbies.

It's the way to welcome new windows users?.

I'm a admin in a system with windows and linux, windows and linux are good only if you have a decent machine and you known how to configure you machine. Linux is not good because windows sux (like the "suggest" title of this book), Linux is good because its good for made some task. Windows too.

Just stopped by as I was looking for books on Knoppix 3.6. I had an older copy someone gave me but I now have a copy of 3.6 and was thinking about finding out more about how it could work for me. Well just to get it out of the way YES I'M DUMB AS A ROCK when it comes to Linux.
I ran across the book Moving To Linux this past weekend and to date it is the best I have found at helping people like me understand Linux and how to use Knoppix. I'm trying to move away from Windows but it's not like flipping a light switch. Good books help so if you know of one tell others or if you know of a site share it. Would it be so hard to give just a little after all it's free.
By the way we all have a life. Mine is to go to work every day and give 110% so that me and my son have a roof over our heads and are not cold or hot and are dry if it rains. To a lot of people this is not much of a life but when was the last time your child came to you and ask if it would be ok if they grew up just like you?
So yes you have a life but are you living it Right.

I think Marcel Gagne of Linux Journal fame has put out a second such book. This one includes a CD again and focuses on using KNOPPIX in an office setting for business types....
