Hi, I am about to give a training session in Linux, using Centos 4.4 as a base. I want to give my students (MS windows administrators) printed books about Linux and hopefully Centos based. It is a total of 20 books. I'm also interested in purchasing 20 copies of the DVD of Centos 4.4 x86/x86_64 distro.
My initial search at amazon returned no useful results.
It can be RHEL 4, Centos 4 or fedora 4 based but I really want them to be Centos if possible, given the fact that I often scracth RHEL intallations in favor of Centos (i know is the same base, but I would like to match the book with the distro). The books have to be focused to Linux administration and installation (like web,ssh.mail.etc). There is no need to cover in-depth programming (perl,bash,etc).
Can anyone in the Centos community have some references of these books/DVDs for purchase?
Thanks,

I don't know if there are any CentOS specific books, but if not then I think you would be best off with a good RHEL4 tome and maybe a slim-ish handout detailing the differences. I'm thinking primarily Yum usage and configuration, commonly used repos etc.
The sort of thing you could cover with pointers to the Wiki and the list. In fact, that could be a good project for a Wiki page, a transition document to<->from the upstream distro.

The best training material I've used is available at GuruLabs (www.gurulabs.com).
This is courseware with labs tested on Fedora, Redhat and SUSE, the last I checked they were still a little behind in which versions they support.
They have 'books' from beginning thru advanced administration, all continually improved.
