Advice to OP: Don't spend much money on treeware books about Linux in general or CentOS in particular. The technology moves fast enough that
the book
will be obsolete in six months to a year. I work best with real books
because I
can easily dog-ear, underline, highlight, mark, etc. so I understand
liking
a real book.
But real books don't have that 'search' box up at the top...
Les, that's what the index is for. <snip>
It is really unfortunate that neither paper books nor pdf's have developed the technology to easily show you 'just' those changes so you end up starting from scratch every time a developer decides to make some small change. I've always wished for something where you could input the version you know and get a description of the changes between that and some current version.
The good ones *do* tell you that, in examples, in appendices, on the CD they give you....
