During the computer Show we had a gentlemen come to our booth very 
interested in learing Linux beyond a beginners/user level. In our 
discussion it was noted he has an problem with his eyes, under doctors 
care, but wanted a good source to learn Linux well. There are so many 
good sources for an beginner but if you had to pick one source or at 
worst two sources what would they be?  I gave him my choice :

> <http://www.bookpool.com/.x/i5hef8p31m/sm/059600589X> 	  	*Learning 
> Red Hat Enterprise Linux & Fedora, 4E 
> <http://www.bookpool.com/.x/i5hef8p31m/sm/059600589X>*/ Bill McCarty/ 	
>
> O'Reilly & Associates, Published 2004, 4th Bk&CD edition, ISBN 059600589X

but I realize I may be limiting his needs. He said he will attend the 
Meeting Wednesday and I told him I would try to get him a better answer. 
This might be a good start for setting up a beginners mini class. BTW 
UrbanDominion is installed and waiting SATLUG's challenge Wed. night.

Thanks  Boz
