I hadnt heard of this before. I didnt see it on the website though, guess I wasnt looking in the right spot. I would be very interested in hearing more about this also.

it seems like a random post sometimes is there some times it isn't I found it through Distrowach.

Ok, I found it. Its hard to tell how much of it is specific to dsl and how much of it is standard linux information. I take it that the cd is the training videos

how about posting a link ??

Sorry, didnt think about the link.< DSL Book > Its about halfway down the page. I would be interested to know what you think of it. Posted by green on June 14 2005,14:38
It appears that this book is a good idea, because "a portion" will be donated to DSL. That, in and of itself, would be worth it and it would be nice to have a handy reference when I screw up my DSL and can't get to the net. It would seem that anything in the book is also here in the forums, however, would nice to have a DSL book.So, if anyone can figure out how to buy one (there is no link that I saw) let us know. that Zaurus looks interesting as well.....

Oh man...thats coolI wonder how deep he actually got into the operation of DSL and not going over indepth of what linux is and the history of linux... Making something like that with a solid HOWTO to backup changes to the backup dir for a frugal install would rock! Brian AwPhuch Posted by Onyarian on June 15 2005,06:59
Green,you have to select "shopping cart", then in the right column clic on "New to Linux", then in bottom of the page clic on "DSL book and training", and finally clic "add to cart". Have luck! Onyarian Posted by green on June 15 2005,14:57

I got mine yesterday comes with 2 cd's one DSL 1.2 , a tutorial CD and a well organized booklet (pretty good acctually for a green horn like me) it does not intimidate with big language.

Is the book really DSL specific or generic linux? What is on the training CD?Chris Posted by clacker on June 24 2005,12:45
I looked at Knoppix Hacks in the bookstore. It looked like more Knoppix that dsl but still had some neat things. Did you know that in the < Slashdot book review > it said:
I'd love to hear what John has to say about the experience. Posted by dougvega on June 24 2005,15:10
the book is mostly DSL specific the training CD is generic a lot of KDE screenshots
