185543 2003-10-22 02:46:00 For those who don't already know, I'm in jail! Jail is a very stimulating place and worst of all, remand inmates can't do courses or have computers! I however have no intention of rotting and after spending 3 months delegating my life, it now time to do some learning to fill in the days. What's a good Linux mag to subscribe to?

Hopefully there's still some Linux buffs on this site who remember my level of understanding enought o be able to recommend something at my level (no smart comments please!).

Thanks,

.Chris

185545 2003-10-22 03:11:00 Magazines in my opinion tend to be rather specialized. I would suggest a book - one like "The Redhat 9 Bible" or similar. Some good material to sink your mind into - for that matter the real Bible could be good too! (not meant to be a smart comment). JohnD (509)
185546 2003-10-22 03:16:00 .Chris,

Howdy mate... what about "Linux Magazine" or "Linux Journal"

Cheers, Babe.

p.s. .Chris aka Mr Wilson aka....?

185547 2003-10-22 03:25:00 I've got Linux Complete and it doesn't seem too bad, mainly centered around Red Hat 7.3

Hope it isn't too bad for you :)

185548 2003-10-22 03:32:00 The Linux Journal is a pretty technical level magazine. It's well written, but it's probably beyond what you want ... unless you want to write the code for a USB device ... :D

Can you get books from the Christchurch Public Library? The Linux shelf is fairly full at this moment. :D

185549 2003-10-22 03:48:00 Howdy Chris :)

I sort of wondered where you vanished to and was a bit concerned.

Ordering in books from the library is a good idea, perhaps there are some SuSE flavoured ones available. Some libraries will get in books if they don't normally carry that particular one, so it might be worth checking this out.

185550 2003-10-22 05:04:00 Indeed, yes, I wondered what happened to you too.

JohnD, please note that not everyone in prison deserves to be there (though I'm sure Chris will have a good reason), but they certainly don't need telling that they should try reading the Bible.

185552 2003-10-22 06:13:00 Agent - I understand what you are saying but there is not one of us (inside or outside) that would not benefit from reading the Bible. Some of us outside might need to read it more than some inside! JohnD (509)
