I would love a book that I could read cover to cover that really tells a story of how linux/Ubuntu really works! I find that I am able to diagnose and fix most problems, but mainly because I know how to search forums and follow instructions intuitively and where to change things for my particular system. I actually do not how linux seriously works or how the kernel and it's associated modules work, but very technical stuff can get boring. So for me, somthing that is "functional knowledge" to "hero" would be great, but in a readable version. Maybe followed with a good example of building a kernel from source?? But that's just where I'm personally at in the wonderful FOSS journey :-) --Michael _________________________________ Michael Fletcher Visit my website here - http://www.mgfletcher.com/blog Interested in Linux?
