Dear Linux Enthusiasts,
We at the Linux General Store are pleased to announce that we are in the
final stages of completing our first book. The book is called "Upgrading and
Repairing PC's, Linux Edition." This is a first for us as well as the Linux
Community. This will be the first book dedicated to hardware and geared
towards the GNU/Linux Operating System. We will begin our technical review
phase Friday July 9th. We are currently looking for volunteers to help in
editing and reviewing the book. If you are interested, Email
ryan at linuxgeneralstore.com or mike at linuxgeneralstore.com for more information.
