CentOS - Oct 2006 - Training Material: Books about linux but targeting Centos installations

Hi,
I am about to give a training session in Linux, using Centos 4.4 as a base.
I want to give my students (MS windows administrators) printed books about
Linux and hopefully Centos based. It is a total of 20 books. I'm also
interested in purchasing 20 copies of the DVD of Centos 4.4 x86/x86_64
distro.

My initial search at amazon returned no useful results.

It can be RHEL 4, Centos 4 or fedora 4 based but I really want them to be
Centos if possible, given the fact that I often scracth RHEL intallations in
favor of Centos (i know is the same base, but I would like to match the book
with the distro).
The books have to be focused to Linux administration and installation (like
web,ssh.mail.etc). There is no need to cover in-depth programming
(perl,bash,etc).

Can anyone in the Centos community have some references of these books/DVDs
for purchase?

Thanks,

I don't know if there are any CentOS specific books, but if not then I
think you would be best off with a good RHEL4 tome and maybe a
slim-ish handout detailing the differences. I'm thinking primarily Yum
usage and configuration, commonly used repos etc.

The sort of thing you could cover with pointers to the Wiki and the
list. In fact, that could be a good project for a Wiki page, a
transition document to<->from the upstream distro.

The best training material I've used is available at GuruLabs
(www.gurulabs.com).

This is courseware with labs tested on Fedora, Redhat and SUSE, the
last I checked they were still a little behind in which versions they
support.

They have 'books' from beginning thru advanced administration, all
continually improved.

Erick,

   You need to contact Servin. Bar none they have the absolute best training
manual for CentOS/RHEL.  I have used it to teach before. Each chapter is  a
series of steps for the particular topic. Combine this with a theory book such
as "Understanding the Linux Kernel" and some time on the computer and
your students will walk out transformed. They have a book for admin, for Linux
for tech pros, for Linux and BIOS, Linux Kernel, and some others I think. .
