Free Book! w00t! Wealth of Knowledge!

I'll eat it up thanks.

dubois · 2012-05-10 13:20:34

Four hundred and how many pages?? I got it in PDF via bittorrent and they got five euros via Pay Pal. big_smile

Good link, thanks!

TitanMech · 2012-05-10 13:33:11

Thanks SabreWolfy, this is great offline reference tool

VastOne · 2012-05-10 17:24:17

I was just about to post the same thing but searched the forum first...

For those Debian lovers amongst us, myself included...

Well done Wolfman! smile

It is available in Sid also with

sudo apt-get install debian-handbook

for whatever reasons, it is only available in Sid...

Nice to see you back Sir dubois! cool

Thanks for the link.
There is a great german handbook on the net for ages already.
Debian Anwenderhandbuch
There is a google translate option at the top, but I never needed it and therefore can not judge it. wink

Can't be breaking Debian's rock hard stability by unfreezing features!

BSDMyinis has become a cheeky bastard since switching to Arsch!

VastOne · 2012-05-10 19:52:49

^ big_smile Indeed

dubois · 2012-05-10 20:12:34

^^

He did what?!? yikes tongue

ivanovnegro · 2012-05-10 22:33:38

^ He switched to Arsch. lol

rstrcogburn · 2012-05-10 22:44:58

oh heeelz yeah

mynis01 · 2012-05-11 03:43:31

Jokes aside though, this book looks pretty rad. I was going to email my professor to suggest that he use this for classes instead of lame SUSE books but the school is in the process of switching to MS Exchange, and they are getting getting an early start with the downtime they will probably be experiencing on a regular basis from now on.

VastOne · 2012-05-11 04:19:23

^ Accck... Switching from what to the dreaded abyss of Exchange?

I browsed through yesterday, it's an extremely well written book. I might translate it to Croatian if I have the time.

mynis01 · 2012-05-11 06:06:14

Groupwise. The lead IT guy at the school is totally anti-open source after their programmer quit. He wants to move pretty much everything to a Cisco/Windows architecture. That way instead of having to hire programmers and admins with a moderate amount of intelligence, he just has to hire people that can understand tech support guys with foreign accents and use the difference in salaries to pay for all the licenses.

@El_K: How's your translation of War and Peace coming? tongue

ex0 · 2012-05-11 06:18:31

thanks for the link smile

missinglink · 2012-05-18 01:04:37

After downloading and perusing the pdf, I've got a hard copy on order from Lulu.
If corenominal pens a #! for dummies and/or #! customization guide, I'll be happy to support those as well.
While I'm complaining, I'm requesting a technical t-shirt from the #! shop. And a onesie for folks who bring a godforsaken argumentative Distrowatch commenter attitude to the #! forum.

dubois · 2012-05-20 22:39:11

This can also be found in the Testing-Wheezy repos as debian-handbook 6.0+20120509. I don't know if it's in either stable or unstable as I don't have either immediately available.

VastOne · 2012-05-20 22:40:55

See here mate...

skorzen · 2012-05-20 23:57:44

Nice way of sharing a book.
