Scared me:
Quote:
Linux Quick Fix Notebook

Linux® Quick Fix Notebook

* List Price: $39.99
* Your Price: $35.99 (Save 10%)

Add to Cart
but the PDF link (8.5 megs) seems to be d/l-ing.
Oh, BTW - the URL says 'promo', so the whole page could disappear any moment.... YMMV.

Lots of good books there. Can't beat free, so if you have the bandwidth, I'd download them while they are still up and still free. Wink

When I tried to DL "Open Source Security Tools: Practical Guide to Security Applications", the link did'nt work. Anyone else have that happen? When I put the cursor over the .pdf link, I was getting nothing. After some copy/paste work, I got this link to work. Hope it helps someone that had the same problem I had.
