I absolutely love this item. It is expensive if bought at a pet store or directly from the maker, so I was really happy to find it almost half price at amazon.com!
I pulled so much hair off my dogs with just one swipe. I will never need another dog brush again!
Understanding Linux Web Hosting
I love the story this book unveils. I love that it bacically tells two different stories and brings them together in the end. Sara Gruen out did herself on this one. When I read this book, I could feel what the characters were going through. I could feel their emotions. I felt I was living life with the characters as the book unfolded. This book is very well written. I have referred it to many.
Performance Tuning for Linux
I’ve had a lot of fun with pedometers but this one I enjoy a lot. It gives me a variery of details such as calories burned as well as miles and/or steps taken. I’m glad to have this one as it “measures” up to my expectations, and I’m sure it will for other folks.Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer. You’ll feel good about walking and the walking will be good for you.
Beginning Linux Cloud Administration
This Ipod came promptly and in new condition as described. It is wonderful for playing games, using your e-mail, playing mp3’s, loading pictures, texting, etc… The list is never-ending. Amazon had the lowest price of all the stores around and it even came with free shipping! I absolutely love it and would recommend it to everyone!
LARGEST EVER SCALABLE LINUX
Linux has come of age. Red Hat 7.2 is the version that brings it to the masses. In 2000, I was strugling on loading Linux to my Notebook – most of the drivers were not recognized. There many agonizing days before it started to work – without modem support. And linux literature was disparate and difficult to come by.
Red Hat Version 7.2 makes things almost as easy as a Microsoft OS to newbies. And the book goes through the steps in extremely digestable formats. Red Hat support does not come along with the CDs – but this is not really necessary. The book covers the topics very well. And if you need to troubleshoot on areas not covered by the book, there are a wealth of info through google and deja.
Best wishes on your migration to Linux. It is a fun OS to use and the migration path is now, almost, painless.
Red Hat Linux 7
I love it!! I absolutely love it. The price was great. Delivery was quick. I’m happy. I’m so glad I spent a little more on this vs the Ipod nano. It was def. worth it.

Computer-related books are a vast wasteland. Most of my quibbles about the book would be irrelevant if it were titled “The Linux Kernel for Cretins.” In that case I’d have had to give it two stars. But, it appears to be targeted at serious kernel programmers.
In most places, the previously mentioned “poor translation from the French” wasn’t perceptible to me. However, I _was_ disappointed with the technical content. Conditioned by things like the BSD book by McKusick et al, I expect discussion about interesting technical points instead of descriptions of kernel entry points. If I wanted to know what functions were available for signal management, I guess I’d read the man pages.
However, all the user-level information does bulk the book up nicely, obscuring the fact that it doesn’t have much fiber. For example, I wanted to know something about how _procfs_ was implemented. After eliminating the description of various files in /proc (which are documented better elsewhere) there are about two pages of description–mostly of the “Jeshua begat Shemtup” variety. I can use tags and glimpse as well as the next guy–what I’d like is a higher-level description.
In summary, it has some interesting information, but any kernel book I can skim through in less than a day isn’t much of a kernel book, Senator.
