Moving to Linux, Second Edition: Kiss the Blue Screen of Death Goodbye! (2nd Edition) Review by Roberto Pippalada
Blue Screen of Death??? Is this guy from Stone Age?
Extremely disingenuous title!
Yes, Windows 3.1 was a piece of junk. Windows 95 was a junk with pretty good facelift, but... that was in the Ice Age. Did the author hear about OS called Windows 2000? Both at home and at work my main PCs are W2000. I supported bunch of heavy duty Windows 2000 servers and I have yet to see infamous "Blue Screen of Death". No luck so far.
Maybe the book was written 5-6 years ago and the author just now had time to publish?
I am not biased either way and in fact I am hardcore Unix fan, but I don't like gratuitous attacks especially when they are anachronisms.
As to the content of the book it is very superficial even for the beginner and intermediate user. For that audience Peter van der Linden's Guide to Linux is much more superior!
Gagné, you didn't gain much after year 2000, pardon the pun.
