Hi Guys,

Anyone got this book to spare? Looking for a secondhand copy and i'm willing to pay a second-hand price. Computer books are generally overpriced in my opinion and certainly out of my budget.

I've heard people say it is not a very good book, but i think for me it will be suitable

thank you

looks good. I will look into it. I still think it is useful to have something in hardbook format that is Ubuntu specific aswell to have in front of me, but nonetheless the links look very usefull indeed - thank you:D

What do you consider a "second-hand price"? Amazon.com is selling it for about US$25 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1590596277/sr=8-1/qid=1151520871/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-0778460-2927169?ie=UTF8)

Well, to be honest i was hoping for a real friendly in-house price, but yea, that is pretty good, also 14 pounds on the amazon link also provided

I hoped someone might have a copy they just didn't want anymore, that they had totally outgrown and were willing to pass along at a minimal cost
