To be completely honest, I live in a FreeBSD office (gasp!) which is what I'm
*officially* learning, but Linux seems to be where all the excitement is recently.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I trust there are enought similarities between the two
that O'Reilly's "Running Linux" book is still a good bet (??) (...just between us, of
course I'll be creating a Linux partition on my home system... :-).

BTW, "Tlug_3" (Tohoku) sounds like an idea....
