CentOS - Jun 2009 - "Linux aux petits oignons" - Book about Linux based on CentOS 5.3 (french)

Hi,

The last six months, I've been busy writing "Linux aux petits
oignons",
a general introduction to GNU/Linux. The book is aimed at the beginner 
(or intermediate) reader, though :

1) it's *not* based on Ubuntu, but on CentOS 5.3
2) it doesn't shy away from explaining basic UNIX concepts
3) it favours the use of simple command-line tools

Here's the editor's page :

And here's the book on Amazon :

http://www.amazon.fr/Linux-Petits-Oignons-Apr?s-Windows/dp/2212124244

It's 550 pages thick, but you can (almost) read it like a novel.

Enjoy !

Niki

PS : for those who wonder, "Kiki Novak" is my pen name.

Congratulations!  (I have a shorter novel, due out on amazon in the
next few days, but it's the first of five in a fantasy-adventure epic
- about as OT as I could get for this list!  :-)

Youch!  I've written two novels that are that big (give or take), so I
have an idea how much work you put into it, but - Wow!

That's a lot to digest, even if it's written to be "fun" to
read, a la
the "...for Dummies" books....  (For the record, anyone who needs to
read the Internet for Dummies should never be allowed on it - speaking
from a purely hypothetical perspective, of course, since I've never
even looked at it.  ;^)

When's it coming out in English?  :-)

Good luck!  (Or would that be, 'break a pen?')
