3.0 out of 5 stars Could be better, June 25, 2000

Roger Hales (Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Installing Debian GNU/Linux (Other Sams) (Paperback)

I was hoping for more infomation about the deselect and apt-get processes. As these are the core of Debian installation and upgrade management, they probably needed more than half a dozen pages to expalin them.

The rest of the book is pretty standard, but useful, set up info for Linux in general.
