You should get a copy of a Linux CD which contains the Red Hat distributions, version 2.1. It is the distribution which currently works best, and is easiest to install (and is ELF). >looked in a couple of Sydney city bookshops and seen some but the best I >could find was Slackware 1.2 which seems too old. Yes? Yes, much too old. Personally I'd recommend you don't get a book/CD package as you tend to get ripped off a bit. Buy a CD as above and the get a copy of 'Running Linux' and possible 'The Linux Network Administrators Guide' from O'Reilly. >Lastly, where would I buy it from? I live near Ryde in Sydney, and work in >the city, so any decent business around those two areas will do. Can't help there I'm afraid, wrong state. :-) - Mike
