Hi guys, I've been a CentOS user for a few years and I've been using Red Hat related distributions prior to that since about RH 5.2. I really like RHEL but I found that for the majority of the things I wanted to do personally, CentOS was a much better fit for my needs. There was of course a lot of books covering RHEL, but very little that talked about CentOS. Although they are very similar, to the point where much of the content is interchangeable, I really wanted to put something together that was completely CentOS and not just another RHEL or Fedora book with a sub-title. I started work on the Definitive Guide to CentOS late last year and with a great deal of help from members of the CentOS team (especially Tim and Ralph who contributed whole chapters) we have managed to make this a reality! I'm hoping that this book will be the first of many :-) I would like to start contributing more directly to the project and I'm looking for topics to contribute to the wiki. In the mean time, I would like to update my profile and so if someone with the appropriate access rights could give me permission to update /PeterMembrey, that would be awesome :-) Kindest Regards, Peter Membrey
