Here's a list of the books and articles I've written or co-wrote over the years. Those books still in print are available from amazon.com and you can purchase them at a discount right from this web site. As you can see most are related to computers, but there's still hope for me yet - I intend to put my liberal arts education to work and write some stuff people can do dissertations on in the future!

Books:

Special Edition Using Linux, 3rd Edition. This Edition targets the Red Hat distribution, one of the easiest to install Linux distributions available.

Anyone interested in learning what Linux is and how to use Linux and Unix will find this a delightful book. Linux kernel hackers need not apply since this book would be too simplistic for you. The book is aimed at beginners and those who want a low cost solution to internet access than those pushed upon the masses by large corporations. Read what PC Magazine has to say about our book!
