Every once in awhile, I check Amazon to see what books are upcoming in various categories (using the "publication date" option), and just such a search has uncovered what looks to be the first Damn Small Linux book, "The Official Damn Small Linux Book: The Tiny Adaptable Linux That Runs on Anything," by Robert Singledecker, John Andrews and Christopher Negus -- and set for release in July.

Every once in awhile, I check Amazon to see what books are upcoming in various categories (using the "publication date" option), and just such a search has uncovered what looks to be the first Damn Small Linux book, "The Official Damn Small Linux Book: The Tiny Adaptable Linux That Runs on Anything," by Robert Singledecker, John Andrews and Christopher Negus -- and set for release in July.

I believe it's the first book to focus on DSL ... and the first to focus on a single small Linux. Chris Negus has quite a few books out on Linux, including one on live CDs, Fedora/Red Hat, and, of course, the "Linux Bible."

He seems to have his own imprint under Prentice Hall. More power (and money) to him.

Other Linux books slated for future release:

"Fedora Linux Toolbox: 1000+ Commands for Fedora, CentOS and Red Hat Power Users" by Christopher Negus, Francois Caen (Sept. 18)

"Linux Networking Cookbook" by Carla Schroder (Sept. 15)

"Fedora 7 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Bible" by Christopher Negus (July 10)

"Linux System Programming: Talking Directly to the Kernel and C Library" by Robert Love (July 1)

"openSUSE Linux Unleashed" by Michael McCallister (June 13)

"Ubuntu Linux for Dummies" by Paul G. Sery (May 7)

"Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Administration Unleashed" by Tammy Fox (April 20)
