They could shorten the entire manual to:If you want to use Unix, buy a Mac. Otherwise, enjoy spending the rest of your life rewriting kernel code and graphics drivers in assembly without any support for your custom made third party operating system.If you want to play games, use windows.

There's also torrents of very large collections of computer ebooks (1800+ books) that contain this volume. Try searching from IsoHunt if you've got 16.5 gigs of free space.

@ flag8rYou don't have to download an entire torrent. For instance, with uTorrent you can easilly specify which files (within the torrent) to download and which to skip. Great for when you're looking for a particular song... but don't want the rest of the album, etc...On topic, I'm installing Feisty Fawn on my P3 800 laptop tonight! I've been running slackware for the past 6 months and I think I'm going to give Ubuntu a try... just the live dvd for starters... don't want to pooch my slack install just yet. ;)

@gentoogrrrl said"PS Ubuntu is for Noobs - and still better than Windows"Ubuntu is an operating system that just works. If you want to compile your e your hardware, add some especial flags to optimize your OS for your architecture good for you, but that doesn't mean that your distro is better, it just mean that you're girlfriendless, lifeless and have more FREE time to spare at.Gentoo is for a minority and that's good, linux is about choices, but if you look at the facts you wont see Gentoo in any real BIG server or just in a few ones. That doesn't mean that gentoo is bad of course, It just shows that neither the most big company with the biggest server give a f**k about gentoo and its optimizations. The site ubuntu.com get a number of hits a day than the gentoo's site can only dream of, and guess what distro their servers are running? Yes, you're right.PS: Don't get me wrong, I love gentoo like any other linux distro, but piss me off when people try to dimean the distros that JUST WORKS.

I just installed ubuntu in one of my computers and I like it so far. This book is going to be very useful.

"get over yourself. you're probably still some kid who lives in his mom's basement or something."I've used Linux for years, and yet never programmed in Assembly, or touched any Kernel code... And I have Steam running right now, which plays Counter-Strike Source and HL2 etc. just fine... phocion55 is right. This rosstizma guy is just trying to start a flame war by saying things that aren't even remotely true, and it's best if we all just digg him down and disregard what he says.
