Although we've been doing a non-official debian mirror where I work (an
ISP in Utah) for almost 2 years now, I got the New Riders book/cd set when
it came out to try to support the debian community and see if there were
some useful things in the book. Well, I didn't waste much time with the cd
as it became apparent that it was screwed but the book really didn't hit
the mark either, IMHO.
For the same reasons, I picked up the O'reilly Debian book a few months
ago. I just want to say that, like always, O'Reilly hit the mark with that
one. The CD is a good version of Slink with some Gnome updates, it install
easily and, most importantly, browsing through the book I've learned some
things. I rarely feel like buying anything but O'Reilly books for my *NIX
needs and their Debian book is no exception. I recommend it to beginners
and intermediate Debian users alike.
