Re: [PLUG] Debian available at Micro Center
|
i bought a book "learning debian gnu/linux " by bill mccarty at u of
penna. the book and a valinux disk came as a package for $35. the book
is worth the $14 and the ride is shorter.
the valinux disk is pure debian. there are a few of their favorites
inserted. i am running on it.
truly,
