    Yeah PC PLUS is a great mag.
    They always have a load of Linux software on the cover disks the newest kernels etc.
    As far as I know they are starting a Newbie Linux Tutorial series this month.
    It's a little expensive but heck if you get Red Hat 5.2 on the cover it's definetely worth £6.50.

    They do a linux tutorial every three months in my experience smile.gif
    although their shell programming tutorial a while back was quite good for ppl who wouldn't have a clue.
    three cheers for pc plus !
    if only PC Live would make a decent magazine/cd rom now.

    They do a Linux tutorial every month since they included S.u.S.e 5.2 on a CD. But this month they're supposed to be starting a series for absolute beginners. They're also the only mag I know of to include Linux software every month.
    Yah 'tis a great mag.

    P.S The newest kernel is on the CD every month so it's worth the buy just for that.

    I just walked around for 3 hours today trying to find it. Ended up finding it in a spar in coolock of all places! Yes first isssue i got (only coz of rh). But after having a flick through the mag looks great i'll buy it in future. BTW I'm installing linux tonight so expect this board to be full of newbie questions over the coming week smile.gif

    www.cheapbytes.com do Linux CD's for $2 and various archives of ftp servers too - they deliver nice and fast too - I got 3 archive CD's and Suse 5.2 delivered a few months ago within 10 days for $15 including airmail - Swiftpost for my order form etc etc - Ie - ALL costs -

    Course if your a Dedicated linux fan youll have a cron job running a script finger @ftp.kernel.org that'll tell you when a new kernel is released so you can grab the patch before the server is swamped to pieces =). With a bit of luck you should be up and runnig before it hits the news sites - must update it to auto d/l the patch - patch the source and recompile - install and prompt for a reboot . Oh well thats another days work wink.gif
