Linux Toys: 13 Cool Projects for Home, Office and Entertainment

Rating:
Summary: This is for newbie only!
Review: When I frst saw this book into the store shelf I thought finally a great book about linux projects! Well... it didn't take much time to get back on my feet when I started reading it. I'm not saying it's a ripoff but it's to basic. I haven't learned much when what I
wanted more exactly was to learn much about cool stuff you can do with linux. And also the fact that it is complimentary to R.H. 9 makes it awkward because the point is to run the projects on old computers it would of make much more sense to pack in a small and fast distro that can run better on old computers than Red hat. Finally, don't hope to much about this book except from making your imagination work towards better project than they did. I would not consider every 13 projects in this book "projects", most of them are not projects they just packed them in to make more content! Enough said, don't wasted your money on this if you are at least the intermidiate linux user. Else look other much cooler stuff on the web or mayby some other book. But for the real newbie, it may be a good start... maby
