Just what I wanted in a pedometer. Easy to use and helps me get in more steps per day. I like that I can put it in my pocket or clip to my waistband, so I can start counting as soon as I get out of bed each morning.

Did not like the book. I especially didn’t like the fact that no one could stop the elephant abuse and didn’t like the sex in it. Pretty crude. Too bad they had to add the graffic sex. It wasn’t necessary to the story!
The Linux Kernel Primer

Just 1 week after I purchased this Kindle .. out came the Wi-Fi kindle for 50.00 less. Then in another week, they had Wi-Fi as well as free 3G for the same money I paid for 3G only. The newer ones have a better button configuration and no longer have the hideous 5 way button that you have to have fingers the size of a pencil to operate. Moving the curser is slow and somewhat unresponsive which is annoying. A touch screen would eliminate this issue. It would be great if they’re going to upgrade these every week if they’d offer a trade-in plan.

This book is a great way for any reasonably experienced PC user to break into the Linux world. The author is clearly prejudiced against Microsft but who can blame him? He can do almost anything with Suse that can be done with XP for free. I have used all versions of windows from 3.0 to XP and I found Linux a little bit intimidating initially. After reading this book and using the information provided I now dual boot my primary box, I have turned an old PC into a web server, revived an old Thinkpad long thought useless, and my kids have a box that is used for school work, web surfing and photo editing (but not gaming). In many ways Linux is superior to windows especially when comparing costs. This book is a great way to get started!

I first read “The Catcher…” while in High School as a required reading assignment.
My impression of this story was so great that I started and finished in one go. It is the book that got me interested in reading. As a result, I purchased this book as a gift to my grandson who happens to be an advid reader at the age of 5 years.

This one kept appearing in my recommended reads but I kept putting it off. I am now delighted to have read it. Easy to read and powerful in its simplicity, I engaged with the characters…feeling intense hate for some and pain and compassion and hope for others. I both laughed and cried. Well done Kathryn, an excellent book, not entirely ficticious.
Linux Journal Issue 114

There is some good information in this book but way to much important stuff is missing. Stuff that should be in *any* linux networking book that is missing from this one include:

-discussion of dhcpd, the dynamic host config protocall daemon-discussion of dhcpcd, the dynamic host config protocol client daemon-the routed daemon-any other meaningful discussion of dynamic routing in linux-any discussion of connectivity with Windows machines (SAMBA is not mentioned anywhere in the entire book)

It would not be possible to administer an actual modern network without any of the above. These omissions are unforgivable in my opinion. Definite one star.

Practical Linux Programming Drivers

For linux sysadmins and users, the operating system offers a huge amount of flexibility and customisation. Alas, many might not be fully aware of the numerous tweaks you can perform. So this book tries to educate you. Naturally, a lot of the hacks relate to the desktop. The book allocates a chapter each to the KDE and Gnome desktops. It does not play favourites by suggesting one is better than the other. So the authors pragmatically support both.

As a sign of the book’s recent vintage, there is one hack involving Firefox. But given that this browser’s rise has scarcely halted, if there is a future edition of this book, we can expect far more hacks on Firefox.

Perhaps it is a good sign of linux’s security that the only mention of viruses in the book is in the context of running Microsoft Windows emulators or in reading Microsoft Windows documents.
