If you don't necessarily need the handbook...

I agree.

I don't know how the Mandrake 7.0 books is, but I tried Mandrake Linux 6.1 and
did not
use the book.

GPL versions are quite good too, if you do not need the commercial software,
or a huge collection of Linux Software � la SuSE.
I tried the Caldera version of CHIPS magazine 2/2000 (in german) and I do not
notice differences with commercial version -in term of Linux software (except
sources)-, this solution was even better because Star Office was a newer
version without the (annoying/lacking) registration.
But if you are installing this version on a PC with Windows on the same disk,
Bootmanager and PartitionMagic (Caldera commercial distribution only) are
probably less critical for beginners.

This month is quite a good month for distribution attached to magazine, with
Linux+ (in french) you get a version of  Corel Linux 1.0 but only in english
(easy to install too), with Star Office too.


Hoping soon to find a GPL copy of  the speed optimized  "TurboLinux
Workstation"...
