Administering a Linux system isn’t much like administering a Windows machine. Though the goals are similar and comparable problems arise under both environments, they each require administrators to adopt a certain way of thinking about processes and data. Linux Administration: A Beginner’s Guide helps readers adapt their Windows experience to Linux work. Author Steve Shah does a great job of clueing Linux newcomers into the environment. His explanations are clear, patient, accurate, and useful, and they cover all aspects of the system administrator’s job. He’s careful t

These audacious stories shine with artistic nuance and fearless emotional intensity. Tragic, lyrical, hilarious, and politically controversial, they exist in a world where fact is as strange as fiction, and fiction is often disguised as fact. "The Jiri Chronicles & Other Fictions" is divided into three sections, each a unique literary experiment.

"Hyperfictions" features writing that is interactive an

In April 1998, this wife, nurse, and mother of teenage twins was tending the roses in her garden when a factory worker with a cocaine habit saw her and decided he had to have her. Slipping in through an open back door -- a door Debra usually kept locked -- he waited for her to come in. Nino, her husband of twenty-five years, got in the way and was shot. The man then attacked and
