I've read the first book "Java Programming on Linux", I wouldn't recommend it. Its just general knowledge, most of the book just introduces the user to Linux. If you have dont Java programming before then you dont need much help doing it under Linux.

Take care

I dont know why Debian is considered to be superior. RedHat seems to be the popular choice of linux users, but most of these users are not developers and they just want ease of use with economy. I personally want to try out Debian, not for ease of use. For me there's no point of using Debian if I do...

Is the Debian 3.0r0 stable, Non-US or Official release? Does it contain the source code as well?

Anyone who tried it out... please give feedback about any problems?
